Dr. John Orchard on pain management in elite athletes: The CJSM Podcast

October 16, 2018 by

Dr. John Orchard, Chief Medical Officer of Cricket Australia (and so much more)

The September 2018 CJSM is a thematic issue on an issue of central importance in sport and exercise medicine:  the management of pain in the athletes we serve.

Many authors contributed to this special issue, with only a few more prolific than our guest on today’s podcast: John Orchard MBBS BA PhD MD.  Dr. Orchard was a contributing author on three of the original articles included in this issue:

Dr. Orchard is a wonderful interview, and so I hope you get to listen in — as ever you can go to our journal website to find all of our podcasts or to iTunes. We covered a lot of ground in a short time during our conversation.  Among the stories Dr. Orchard shared with me was one of immediate relevance:  that of Cooper Cronk, rugby league player in the NRL played in that league’s Grand Finale with a fractured scapula (and a local anesthetic injection).

The readers of this blog and the listeners of the podcast should all know that Dr. Orchard is also a wonderful tweeter — one of our profession’s most important ‘follows’ I think. I you don’t already have him on your Twitter list, please find him @DrJohnOrchard and remedy that situation!

Thanks for following us here on the blog, on the podcast, and on our journal’s website.  As ever we appreciate your feedback, and we’d ask you specifically to comment on the podcast on iTunes if you are willing.  We are always interested in improving our content.
