The Practice
A typical day at the Orthopod’s The CyberKlinik v2.0.2
“Bones break, implants fail, plastics wear...but I don’t and I never will.
...If it’s broken I’ll grow it back
...crooked? I’ll straighten it up, There’s not a canal I can not ream, joint I can not replace, reduction I can not achieve...”
