In the latest edition of Outpatient Surgery Magazine’s Podcast series, we speak to board-certified orthopedic surgeon Adam Rosen, DO, author of “O.R. Confidential: Confessions of a Gen X Surgeon” and “The Knee Book – A Guide to the Aging Knee,” and the creator and host of a popular YouTube channel, “Dr. Adam Rosen- Knee Replacement & Orthopedic Info,” with videos that help patients better understand knee arthritis, knee pain, what total knee surgery entails & how to rehab after surgery and the popular podcast “Your Knee Your Health”.

In an expansive conversation that covers everything from the state of health care to Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Rosen shares his tale of a mental health crisis that changed the trajectory of his life and ultimately led to “O.R. Confidential: Confessions of a Gen X Surgeon,” a deeply personal book that is one part memoir, one part message and one part manifesto.
