Speaker 1 (00:00):
I swear some of the best conversations happened when we're
on commercial break. We were just talking randomly about people
who we know and different athletes, and you said there
was a switch pitcher that you know of, And I've
always heard of switch hitters.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I don't know if I've ever met a switch pitcher.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Well, I thought I heard switch hitter when he first
told me that, and then he showed me both of
his Tommy John surgeries on both help posts.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oh my gosh, how old is he? Can you say?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, he's Isaac's probably I'm guessing him to be twenty
twenty one, twenty two somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Tommy John surgery's on both elbos. How hard could he
throw with both right and left arms?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He's over ninety both arms. Yeah, and it looks just
the same. You know, most of us look very awkward
when we're thrown with our non dominant arm, but he
looks identical on both sides.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I honestly, all the sports we've been around, in all
the different athletes and teams, I've never seen a switch pitcher. Yeah,
switch hitter, yeah, I see that, quite calm, but not
a switch picture.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
How's he doing good.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
He's doing good. He just had to have another surgery
in the spring. He had some scar tissue built up
on one of the surgical sites, so he's just now
getting back into it.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So when you have these surgeries like a Tommy John's
or acl MCL, normally when you go through a major
surgery like that, is your body as good as normal.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You go back to being exactly who you are.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
So there are certain things that we do, like for fractures,
bone heels with bones, so you're basically as strong as
you were before. And it's interesting the Tommy john surgery
has gotten so technical good, I mean, the results have
gotten so good that it's interesting. These pictures are throwing
actually fast, harder than they did before after they have
(01:47):
the surgery.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Now say that, no, everybody's going to go out and
want It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
You'll see that some people when it's kind of on
the fence and and I'll do the procedure because I
don't do a lot of elbow work, but when but
they'll kind of if they're kind of on the you know,
we could treat this conservative where you can have a
lot of people will lead to lean towards the surgery.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You see the same thing, doctor severs. We have about
a minute left, Doctor sever Do you see the same thing.
When people go through a surgery, you know that later
in life they're going to be all right.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, I know they're going to be all right. But
for me to say they're going to be better than
whether we're before, it's especially for like abdominal hernia.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, and it's just everything is different, right, I mean
every case is different.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
And you know, Brian's operating on young kids. I'm operating
on folks my age.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Well, that's true.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So it starts to hurt when you get beating my age.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And when you're young, the bodies heal faster, doesn't.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
It, Absolutely it does.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
At what age does that start changing?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, first of all, I think it has left to
people's physiological is not their chronologication. So people can be
very healthy and they're you know, older, and heal very well.
But kids heal great, especially specifically with like bone fractures
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I mean, they'll heal them.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
We're model you know, when you won't even know the
how to fracture a year or two after the after
their injury. In kids under the age of like fourteen.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And physiologic aging has a lot to do with your diet,
your exercise habit.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Sure it does.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know. Then we start getting into hormones, so you
talk about a mail with growth hormone testosterone. When those
things start to decline, it doesn't recover quite as quite
as well.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All right, you guys. It has been such a pleasure
of talking to both you. It's rare that we have
three mds in here together.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I have to throw that out there. That's why I
never changed my name doctor. But you know what, this
was good.
