On National Doctor Day, I am reminded of the doctor who changed my life. As a 12-year-old with severe scoliosis, Dr. Laurence McKinley performed a 6-hour spinal surgery that required the installation of Harrington rods. Today, decades later, I still have them and recognize that my body is limited in what I can physically do. But thanks to Dr. McKinley, I am leading a happy and successful life.
I am grateful for doctors like Dr. McKinley who not only save lives but change them for the better.
–Robert Larios, President & CEO of the Employees Club of California
It was a tough realization as a young boy, knowing that physical activity would forever be forbidden. But Dr. McKinley taught me an important lesson – that success comes from using our minds, not just our bodies. Thanks to him, I am able to accomplish things I never thought possible. So on this special day, I am grateful for doctors like Dr. McKinley who not only save lives but change them for the better.
