Dr. Stark is real life Iron Man. Shooting this was a blast. Check out his IG here: Instagram.com/erikstarkmd

we should ask him to put some of is hospital volg on he can show us his rounds

@Eddie Avinashi We all know his brother Tony aka Iron man but this is his younger brother, Tin Man

[@joeb1den114]

No. I won’t check it out.

[@davidbrockington1220]

This is the most ortho thing imaginable, and I love it

[@thomassullivan5092]

Haha. Yes it is. Ortho bro literally switches sports cars between workouts, then throws on a Rolex before clinic. Ortho bro to the max. I love it.

[@brettagrest4462]

I’m starting medical school this fall and this video is essentially everything I aspire to. The balance of weight training, jiu jitsu, sports medicine and family life is exactly what I want out of my career. It makes me happy to know that this kind of lifestyle is possible with the right amount of hard work and dedication. Great video!

[@rb8947]

Family life? Where do you see here family life? Man start from morning and come back home just for dinner, 1-2 Hour with kids and go to sleep and start again.....

[@itsfootballnotsoccer6140]

@@rb8947 honestly that's the only thing that scares me

[@James-rj2bc]

but don't forget that during residency and early training which will be at least 5-10 years, it will not be the case.

[@flyingdutchman9053]

@@James-rj2bc Also after the norm in surgery is career driven people that dont have much time for anything outside of work. Been there done that.

[@soccer24six]

@@rb8947 i'd say that's pretty normal for any working parent, regardless of occupation; Family life is evenings, weekends, and vacation - really can't ask for more than that - it's actually really enjoyable

One of my sons aspires to be an orthopedic surgeon. He actually sent this video to me because Dr. Stark repaired both my shoulders. He is definitely the real deal and great at what he does. Awesome video!

As an aspiring orthopaedic surgeon, this is the best video I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for making this Dr Jubbal.

YOOOOOOOOOO, this guy is doing what I want to do, and living his life to the fullest. I'm smiling from ear to ear watching him go through MRI's 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@instagramvideos692]

Wow who ever edits your videos deserves a rise. The video was edited immaculately.

[@FleeceThavon48]

In my first semester of medical school, watching this video has definitely confirmed that ortho is for me (having an active lifestyle and helping other maintain their active lifestyle are two big passions of mine), thank you for uploading this Dr. Jubbal.

[@oliverdimartino7194]

Thanks to the patients for letting us see Dr. Stark in action.

[@itsprixzy]

I just had ACL reconstruction surgery on 12th from football season and I am very thankful for doctors like Dr.Stark❤️

[@craftylady9912]

Being the recipient of several ortho surgeries, I have the utmost respect & gratitude for these surgeons. Lovely man.

Awesome day in the life Kevin! Hoping that I can one day become a sports surgeon too!

[@omichaelnato5388]

Wow I am a peasant. One thing I noticed with these guys is they have endless energy. You either have it or you don’t. Can’t get straight As let alone become a good doctor if you are yawning 24/7 from doing schoolwork…good for them though they’re blessed

[@taiwoshogbanmu9747]

I’m a martial arts 🥋 Tang Soo Do Student (Korean Karate 🥋) with mild osteoarthritis in both knees. I’m so grateful for my Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Dr! I LOVE my sport! It’s a way of life! I wouldn’t be able to do my sport with little to no pain without my Dr! I’m not stopping my sport unless it’s impossible to do it without severe pain and no treatment options. It’s literally the highlight I look forward to 3 times a week & it keeps me sane. Shoutout to everyone who keeps people like myself going in their sport! Y’all are amazing and absolutely essential! Thanks so much for what you do !!! ❤️👏👏👏👏😁

[@andrewtraugott7725]

How’d it go?

[@donnam5060]

My doc always did my knee injections old school by feel. Hopefully you keep in practice so you can do that if you don't have a fancy ultrasound for shots. Do you charge more to do the ultrasound guided shot vs if you did it the old way? In my experience, every time you add a tool, you add to the bill.

Depends greatly on the specialty. Most Surgical Residencies and Fellowships are going to be a certain degree of hellish, but Orthopedic specialties can give a really good lifestyle. One of the worst specialties for lifestyle is Transplant.

[@parkertownsend1293]

How did he see 30-40 patients from 10:15-4? I get some visits are quick but, he has to review pt charts and images, and even do minor procedures. All while averaging like 10 minutes per patient.

Question why is it when ever my knee touches the ground I get a super painful burning sensation or something it only hurts when I kneel on it or it touches the ground why is that it’s on my right knee I’m wondering if I should get it check out it or not not sure thanks hopefully you can give me a answer

[@Cyp4501A2]

Wait. You mean to tell me it’s possible to roll AND be a surgeon!? Wild. With the amount of injuries in the sport, I thought one couldn’t do it. Imagine canceling a scheduled surgery because the surgeon injured their hand

[@msmithtkd73bjj]

I've seen that happen. Years ago a very good surgeon had to stop training as he hurt his shoulder. Partners gave him a choice-stay with us or keep rolling.

Nice, I'm an ODP I don't know if you have this Proffesion I the US, We are Anaesthetic Technitions assisting the Anaesthetists. We can also Scrub. I've worked in Theatres or OR. for 13 years. Working along Side Orthopaedic Consultant. I love scrubbing for Trauma, and Ortho. Fav is TFNA. Tochantric Femoral Nail Andvance. And ETN. Expert Tibial Nail Advance. Fun. ACL is so fascinating to see. The graft being Sutured and anchored to the femur and Tibia is great. Once our Graft shaped in half while pulling it through the medial entry hole. So after the surgeon was thinking what to do. They agreed to salvage from the None Operative Leg.
