In October 2010, the Glow Fund and the
Beijing International Committee for Chinese Orphans (BICCO) once again
will help arrang for two orthopedic pediatric doctors to come from
the US to China to perform surgeries for over 40 children.
Dr. Rinsky and Dr. Gamble are both well recognized for
their efforts in international orthopedics, and each year spend several
weeks in hospitals throughout Asia and other parts of the world helping
children with limited access to orthopedic care.
Dr. Laurence Rinsky is a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford
University and Director of the Children’s orthopedic service at the
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. He has broad knowledge
in all areas of children’s orthopedics and has published in almost
every area. Dr. Rinsky was also one of the early North Americans who
utilized the Luque method for correcting scoliosis.
Dr James Gamble is a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the Stanford School of Medicine and a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. Dr Gamble has been leading orthopedic medical trips to China and working with BICCO since 2000. |
