“Spine Surgeon: A Photo Essay 5 of”
For Dr. Albert, as well as most surgeons I met during this assignment, having access to a smartphone appeared to be nearly as vital as their surgical instruments. Throughout the two days I documented Dr. Albert and his staff, scenes such as the one above occurred frequently.
Dr. Todd J. Albert is the president and chief spine surgeon at the Rothman Institute and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. This is a photo essay for Orthopedics This Week about a humble and caring genius who cuts people’s bodies open and works on them as calmly and effectively as if he were carrying out a mundane task.
