I feel so honored to bring Dr. Lewis Zirkle onto today's episode of the podcast! Dr. Zirkle is the president and founder of the nonprofit, Sign Fracture Care International. SIGN is a humanitarian organization that brings sustainable orthopedic care to low and middle income countries by providing education to trauma surgeons as well as manufacturing and donating instruments and implants that are needed to treat fractures.

Throughout the episode we speak about how Dr. Zirkle as a commanding officer in the army in Vietnam, began his journey in creating SIGN. We speak about the "the man in the bed" who represents poor patients with broken bones who have no money to pay for surgeries.
