In 1975 I spent a year doing orthopaedic research on the lumbar spine and received a Masters of Biomedical Engineering. I was appointed an assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering and Orthopaedic Surgery at Vanderbilt and taught orthopaedic surgery there for two years. While there I became Chief of Orthopaedics at the Veterans Administration Medical Center. I also received several research grants and continued to do research on the spine. Since July 1981 I have been practicing orthopaedic surgery at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans.
