An impassioned call by an RRC member for orthopedic to reduce residency numbers. "There is no alternative".
We often hear that the US faces "residency bottleneck" despite publicly spending roughly $140k per resident per year, or at least double any other country. For context, Germany provides only partial public funding to only 10% residencies.

The reason? Residency Review Committees.
