The way that I thought about this episode today is that I just got off the phone, I was on a consultation with a runner and he has a plantar plate injury and he was planning on getting an injection to help the plantar plate sprain heal a little bit faster.

He asked me a question that really stopped me in my tracks. He said, "How long should I give it before I throw in the towel?"

I thought, well, are you planning for this to not work? I actually literally asked him that, I said "If you're thinking about when you're going to decide that this hasn't worked, that means you have to be planning for it to not work."

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about why you should not focus on plan B.
