The Little Mo Effect: Healing can happen in unexpected places

Interview with Dr. Pier Boutin, MD by Hayley McKinnon

After a 7.0-magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, Dr. Pier Boutin responded to the urgent call for French-speaking orthopedic surgeons. She led the first surgical team to land in Port-au-Prince, where the unimaginable suffering in the gruesome aftermath of the earthquake left a lasting impression.

Haunted by memories of all she had witnessed, Dr. Boutin traveled to Morocco to hike the Atlas Mountains in hopes of finding peace and clarity. It was there that she met a 3-year-old Moroccan boy, "Little Mo", whose untreated clubfeet and enchanting smile captured Dr. Boutin's heart -- and compelled her into selfless action for a second time.

Are you up for a life-changing read? Dr. Pier Boutin, MD, recently sat down with Women's Health Network to discuss her inspiring new book The Little Mo Effect, a moving true-life story filled with lessons for all of us on how to rediscover purpose in life. Read Dr. Boutin's interview now.

A TALK ON OSTEOPOROSIS
A Talk by Pier Boutin, MD

A sixth of the population, 54 million Americans, have low bone mass. Women between the ages of 40 and 64 break a wrist six times more often than the general population. After 50, women’s risk of a wrist fracture doubles every ten years.

One in 3 women and 1 in 10 men over 55 will sustain a hip fracture. Half of them will never walk again and half of the men will die within a year.

Bone health plays a major role in longevity. On average, people with strong bones live a longer and enjoy a more active life. Learn how to avoid a broken bone: wrist or hip.
