None more significant than the title of the book, Simon’s Emergency Orthopedics, acknowledging the major contributions of the book’s founding author and editor, Robert R. Simon, MD. I met Dr. Simon when I was a resident in emergency medicine at Cook County Hospital in 1999. Unlike some department chairs, Dr. Simon always preferred bedside teaching to any important meeting. And his bedside teaching in emergency orthopedics was the best I have ever experienced. His 2-day emergency orthopedics course was a highlight of the residency and we are fortunate to have him continue to volunteer his time for this course twice a year, so that present and future residents in our program are not cheated of the experience. As a young faculty member, Dr. Simon was always available to me for advice and counsel. In addition to career advice, he reminded me to reserve time for my family, and in particular my wife. Dr. Simon is a true emergency medicine pioneer and leader in our field. It has been an honor to know him. No one is more loyal or hard working. As a mentor and friend, he has taught me more than I could ever repay.
