Rethinking Recovery and Healing

Dr Rajesh Singh, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

Rethinking Recovery and Healing

“Every illness is unique, which means that all recoveries must also be, in some sense, unique. There is no one-size-fits-all to getting better,” wrote an NHS GP Dr Gavin Francis in The Guardian. We ask consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh what recovery means in his discipline, where a person’s process of healing can be eclipsed by physical objective measurements of recovery post-injury or surgery.
