Doc Kashlan is a Neurosurgeon at the University of Michigan specializing in the Spine and Spinal Cord. He is also a Flight Surgeon in the Air National Guard.

We will do two series of podcasts with him. The first is to discuss spine injuries in Operators, mostly from wear and tear. Later we will do a deep dive into combat injuries of the spine and spinal cord.

In this episode we introduce Doc Kashlan and review the anatomy and function of the spine, and review critical elements in the history and physical examination.
