🦴 Orthopaedic OPD Chronicles: “Doctor Saab… Steel lagwayen ya Titanium?”
Every orthopaedic surgeon in India has heard this at least 10,000 times.
A patient walks in, X-ray in hand, suspense in eyes —
“Doctor Saab… ek baat batao… Steel chalega ya Titanium hi lagwana padega?”
And before I can answer, the attendant adds:
“Premium wala lagana doctor… life-time guarantee ke saath!”
If only implants came with Amazon-style warranties.
In reality, it’s simple:
Implant choice = Biology + Fracture pattern + Science
Not brand, colour, metal, or market hype.
And finally, after the explanation, the patient ends with the golden line:
“Thik hai doctor saab… bas Chinese wala mat lagana.” 😅
Every OPD. Every week. Every surgeon’s story.
If you know, you know. 😉
