Dr. Todd Albert

Surgeon-in-Chief Emeritus, Hospital for Special Surgery

What’s A Challenge You Faced Early On?

I was about 37 years old, 4-5 years into practice, and my wife died.

We were on a trip in Morocco going over the High Atlas mountains and our driver, avoiding a bus, went off the cliff.

I had 3 little kids at the time. Raising them while continuing to practice was incredibly challenging.

I'll say this: We don’t grow as much from our successes, we learn much more from our difficulties.
