Let’s Checkout This Joint!

I have had four joints replaced by Dr. Ian Lin, Orthopedic Surgeon at DMOS in Des Moines.  He is one of my favorite people of all times, for several reasons, but up front because he helped me regain my mobility.

Most of my generation is either in need of a joint replacement or has a family member that is hobbling around.  This interview is instructive about the process and the results.  Not too descriptive of the surgery but a realistic view from a man who has done over six thousand knees and a few thousand hips and shoulders.  

Dr Lin was born in Iowa and played college baseball at Grinnell before going on to medical school at the University of Iowa and advanced training in North Carolina.  He is the best! A family man.  He has the energy of a Border Collie.  

You'll find out why he loves me and hates me at the same time.
