In this abridged episode, Paul and Howard discuss a recent Wall Street Journal article highlighting the surprisingly steep rise in knee and hip replacements among people in their forties and fifties. They get into the implications, reasons behind this trend, and question whether it is justified given the risks and lack of significant advancements in joint replacement technology. The discussion also touches on the broader medical trends, patient expectations, obesity's role, and the challenges and consequences of multiple joint replacements over a lifetime.
