Listen in or watch as host David Mandell continues his interview with orthopedic surgeon Dr. John “Jay” Foley, focusing on Jay's career path after being disabled in a snowboarding accident and unable to perform surgery. Jay explains how his own-occupation disability policy made a significant impact on his post-injury financial health. He also relates that his initial plan for an osteoporosis center did not workout, so he pivoted to medical evaluation for worker's compensation cases and medical-legal work as an expert witness. David and Jay spend the remainder of the interview digging into the pros and cons of both the case evaluation and expert witness work, including what Jay has learned and what advice he gives other physicians about both ventures and about the importance of disability insurance.

For the remainder of this first part of a two-part episode, Jay tells David about his immediate reactions to the injury, both practical and emotional.
