I am Elizabeth Fahey. I'm a physician assistant with Norton. I've been here for six years and worked with the hospitalist group for that time, and now I've transitioned into the Norton Arm and Hand Institute. I was really looking for something in the surgical subspecialty where I can still round in the hospital and see patients there and then follow up with patients in the clinic as well. The group sees everything from pediatric congenital diseases, sports injuries, all the way up to our elderly patients who might have any number of diseases or fall and break a wrist. The common issues that people have post-operatively are post-op stiffness and then pain. In the arm and hand group, it seems like our physicians want to get people moving as fast as they can. The quicker you move and work out that stiffness when we're able to safely, it really seems to help with the pain post-operatively.
We like to tell people it's going to get better, it's going to take a little bit of work, but you can do it, it'll get better before you know it. A little bit of pain in the short term really gets that results in the long term. My family moved to Shelby County when I was 10, so I grew up there, and then I went to Purdue University for undergrad, and then I went to University of Kentucky for physician assistant studies. For fun, our family likes to spend a lot of time outdoors, where we've got two little girls at home, so we're working on raising them, and we read a lot of books. We like to travel, but it's a little bit harder now that they're here and coming with us everywhere.
