Listen up, folks!

We’ve done something really tremendous here. We looked at sports injuries – big topic, everyone’s talking about it. We’ve got the best people on it, and they’ve been digging into the data from New York and Florida. Huge databases, the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project – very impressive stuff.

What we found – and you’re going to love this – is that we’ve got a lot of these surgeries happening. Knee arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, you name it. But here’s the deal: very few people are going back to the emergency department after these surgeries. We’re talking 1.6% in the first week, 1.3% in the first month, and 2.1% after that. Those are great numbers, folks.

And why are they going back? Pain, mostly. But also injuries – we’ve got to prevent those. It’s all about taking care of our athletes. And guess what? The sports with the most issues: basketball, football, all the big ones.

Now, here’s something really interesting: arthroscopic procedures, they’re doing better than open surgery. Less emergency visits – that’s what we want, right?

But we’ve got to watch out for the risk factors – renal failure, lung disease, diabetes. We’ve got to take care of our people, make sure they’re not drinking too much, not going crazy.

So, what’s the bottom line? Our post-op care is top-notch. Pain management, injury prevention – it’s all working. And arthroscopic surgery, it’s winning compared to open surgery. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves – it’s not about being the best, it’s about being even better.

And that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to keep making healthcare great. Thank you!
