Work-related musculoskeletal disorder – surgeons beware! - a podcast by Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

Most Australian surgeons struggle with shoulder, neck and upper back pain, according to recent research conducted by Dr Katherine Grant and Dr Leong Tiong. Dr Grant is a surgical resident based at Royal Adelaide Hospital and is pursuing a career in general surgery. The research was based on a survey which also showed that female and younger surgeons are more likely to suffer from work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD). Dr Grant discusses the implications of the research and what steps are needed to prevent these disorders.
