Jack Flynn and Alex Gornitzky from CHOP and University of Michigan, respectively, join the show to discuss their recent article on the psychology of scoliosis bracing. The lightning round focuses on recent publications by Dr. Flynn with some controversies mixed in to give the guests a chance to "stir the pot." Your hosts are Carter Clement from Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, Josh Holt from University of Iowa, and Craig Louer from Vanderbilt. The episode is sponsored by nView Medical. Music by A. A. Alto.
