The writer examines the issue from the viewpoint of a political conservative, a political liberal, and within the framework of Jeremy Bentham's doctrine of utilitarianism.

Orthopedic sports medical practitioners are being viewed as competent as any other M.D. in any other specialty, and sound research is contributing to the overall well of knowledge regarding injury, treatment options and patient outcomes.
