Rich Rosenberg, CPO, owner, R.J. Rosenberg Orthopedic Lab, Cincinnati, Ohio Question: What attracted you to O&P as a career?A: After I graduated from a Chicago high school in 1966, I really didn't have any direction as to what I wanted to do. I looked into Northwestern University's O&P program and decided to do it. Q: If you could change one thing about O&P, what would it be?A: Insurance companies! If you weren't in the field before managed care arrived, you have nothing to compare with how things were before. Q: What is your favorite Olympic sport?A: Down-hill skiing-the slaloms. Q.: What do you like to do best when you are not working?A: Amateur sports car road racing. I race with a Porsche-sponsored organization, so there are all Porsches on the track. It's great fun! Q. What attracted you to sports car racing?A: I've always liked sports cars. One of the guys I went to Northwestern with, Bill Schumann, a CPO, said, "Let's go racing after we get out of school." He, I, and another guy who went to Northwestern, Bill Neumann, CPO, bought a race car and went racing around Chicago. Q: What's your favorite web site?A. I usually go first to the rennlist [ www.rennlist.org ] site, which is about Porsches. Note: The O&P EDGE will be calling persons involved in O&P and rehab at random for Profile interviews. Who's next? It could be you!
