When we sat down with orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Colin Mudrick, the conversation once again quickly turned to music. An avid fan of a wide range of bands, right now Colin's playlist has a lot of Judah & The Lion and The Avett Brothers. But when he's feeling some old school claw hammer banjo, he shuffles over to Carolina Chocolate Drops. Colin is the brother-in-law of another huge music fan, Ledbury co-founder and CEO Paul Trible.
If you weren’t an orthopaedic surgeon, what would you be doing?
I probably would have pursued a career in bluegrass music. I think the fact that I am for the most part tone deaf and can play less than two songs on the banjo would have been minor obstacles, but not insurmountable.What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?
Grow up! I know my 20 year old self wouldn't listen but I'd at least try. I was bit immature in my younger days and certainly could have used some prodding. That being said my family was incredibly supportive and somehow I ended up where I am today so I wouldn't trade it for anything.What is your idea of perfect happiness?
As cliche as it sounds, I can say that I am perfectly happy right now. I have an incredible wife who is way out of my league, a beautiful daughter (with one on the way) and the most rewarding job on the planet.
