PLAY HARD

摘要

While vacationing in the Swiss Alps last summer Mark L. Welton, chief of colorectal surgery at the Stanford Cancer Center and an advisor to Men's Health magazine, fell off his mountain bike and broke his collarbone. "I wasn't doing anything unreasonable," says the athletic 56-year-old. He had pulled over to let a hiker pass, he explains, when he lost his balance and toppled over. "You could've tripped in your driveway and done this," his orthopedist later told him. With one arm in a sling and an ice pack on his shoulder, Welton cut short a two-week journey and flew home for surgery. His wife, Cindy, 49, who'd been scheduled to rendezvous with him in Geneva after completing a bike race (she's a triathlete), flew to Zurich to see him off before continuing the vacation with two of the couple's children.
