布雷特.奥斯本医生（Dr. Brett Osborn）自我介绍
“我在佛罗里达州北迈阿密出生和长大。我的父亲是一名执业脊椎按摩师，并激励我从事医学事业。1992 年从布兰代斯大学毕业后，我根据骨病的预防模式和功能整体性的偏向的特点，攻读了了我的骨病学位。从传统的初级保健路线毕业后，我接受了纽约大学神经外科医学中心的住院医师职位。
自 2003 年完成为期七年的计划以来，我一直在私人执业，治疗大脑和脊柱的创伤性和创伤性病症。目前，我是佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的一级创伤中心，圣玛丽医疗中心的神经外科主任。作为美国神经外科委员会 (ABNS) 的专科医师，我还获得了美国抗衰老医学学会的二级证书，并获得了美国国家体能协会颁发的 CSCS 荣誉奖金。我的诊所在Jupiter市。”
问题：作为认证的神经外科医生和“认真”的作者，您每天都很忙碌。你的一切是如何开始的，是什么促使你决定遵循这些道路？
“在纽约大学工作的七年中，我意识到我们作为医生治疗的大多数疾病在很大程度上是可以预防的，大多数杀死我们的疾病实际上是人为的或环境所致。我们不是坏基因的受害者，只是错误选择的受害者，特别是在脊柱病理学的背景下。脊柱退行性疾病，通常称为“关节炎”，是工作场所残疾的最常见原因之一，但它的进展和发展是可以被阻止的，通过锻炼、适当营养、减压技术和激素优化等方式。患者根本不知道他们有控制权，而不是疾病。这是认真对待的主要基础和我目前的实践重点。我宁愿帮助患者避免手术并过上更健康的生活，而不是过早地对他们进行手术。”
“I was born and raised in North Miami, FL. My father is a practicing chiropractor and inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. After graduating from Brandeis University in 1992, I sought my degree in osteopathy in light of its basis on preventive modalities and holistic slant. Veering from the traditional primary care route post-graduation, I accepted a residency position at NYU Medical Center in Neurosurgery.
Since completion of the seven-year program in 2003, I have been in private practice treating both traumatic and traumatic conditions of the brain and spine. Currently, I am the Chief of Neurosurgery at St. Mary’s Medical Center, a level I trauma center in West Palm Beach, FL. As a Diplomate of the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS), I have also been secondarily boarded by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and obtained the CSCS honorarium from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. My clinic is in Jupiter.”
AS A BOARD-CERTIFIED NEUROSURGEON AND AUTHOR OF GET SERIOUS, YOU HAVE A BUSY DAILY EXISTENCE. HOW DID EVERYTHING GET STARTED FOR YOU, AND WHAT PROMPTED YOUR DECISION TO FOLLOW THESE PATHS?
“Midway through my seven-year stint at NYU, I came to realize that the majority of the diseases we as physicians were treating were, to a great degree, preventable, that the majority of diseases killing us were, in fact, man-made or environmental. We were not victims of bad genes, only bad choices, particularly in the context of spinal pathology. Degenerative disease of the spine, commonly referred to as “arthritis,” is one of the most common causes of workplace disability, yet its development/progression can be thwarted with modalities such as exercise, proper nutrition, stress reduction techniques and hormonal optimization. Patients were simply unaware of the fact that THEY had control, not the disease. And this is the primary underpinning of Get Serious and the main focus of my current practice. I’d rather help patients stave off surgery and live healthier lives than operate on them prematurely.”
