avocation for thoroughbred horses started early in life as he worked at Suffolk Downs as well as contributed writings to The Thoroughbred Record during medical school. In this fascinating lecture Dr. Polk, as an owner and breeder, will cover horse racing’s national and international history, its relationship to legalized gambling, the challenge to the superior Kentucky blood lines by overseas breeding, and the abusive treatment plus questionable medicinal usages in present day horse racing. Friday, March 15 at 2:30pm - SOS: Shortage of Surgeons: Will there be a qualified/trained surgeon when I need one? Presently, in the United States, there is a shortage of trained qualified general surgeons. With the many technological advancements, the competitive demand and desire for super-specialization, the mandated changes in work hours for surgical training, and the unknown consequences of the Accountable Care legislation, there exists a serious concern that there may not be an expert trained surgeon available to manage a patient’s unique surgical problem. Dr. Polk has been and is involved with these issues and will address them in detail. NOTE: Space is limited. Reservations are required for both lectures. Contact Amanda Jones at Sansum Clinic at 681-7762 or amjones@sansumclinic.org to RSVP.
