A week ago, Dr. Steven Shin was an ordinary hand surgeon (albeit one of the best in the world in his field). Now, thanks to the magic of college football, he is a cult hero in Norman, Okla.
On Thursday, Dr. Shin operated on Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer—an early Heisman contender this season who reportedly broke a bone in his right hand during the Sooners' 24–17 win over Auburn Saturday. Mateer took to social media afterward to reveal the procedure's success and thank Dr. Shin for his efforts.
