REVIEWS
WHY THE NAME BLACKROCK?
This story comes straight from Dr. Winegar, and explains his passion for getting his patients back to the things they love.
During my first year in medical school I got a package from my dad containing three elements. The first was a piece of wood—brown, rough and splintery. The second was petrified wood, about the same size and color but harder and heavier. The last was unlike the others. It was shiny, black and polished mirror smooth.
My dad is a hard-core rock hound. He cuts and polishes thousands of them. Knowing the typical struggles of medical school and especially with a young family, he wrote a letter using these three objects to illustrate a principle I have never forgotten.
He observed that even though life can be difficult and overwhelming, through these experiences we change. We become better and stronger. He explained that the shiny black rock had previously been a piece of wood. After being buried, pressured, stressed and aged it became petrified.
The petrified wood was further refined by polishing it in a tumbler, causing it to strike against other rocks thus chipping off the rough edges. After months of changing the type of polishing material, the petrified wood was transformed into a beautiful, black rock. Without all the pain and refinement its true beauty would never have emerged.
Life takes hard work and can be overwhelming but these difficult experiences can cause us to change and become better. Stronger.
My dad wrote this letter to help me understand that it was okay to go through this polishing process. Even though the path was long and hard, it would be worth it.
This is the philosophy of Blackrock Orthopedics. The formulas are the same for my patients. Together we can get through hard things. Injuries, pains, aging—life in general can wear on us. When these issues are related to orthopedic pain, we work together to help our patients get through these difficulties and get back to the beauty of living. We want to help patients return as soon as possible to the things they love— sports, family activities, work, hobbies and interests. We want to see them return to the beautiful, polishing process of life.
