Dr. George Ahlb�umer is known as one of Europe's top orthopedic surgeons specializing in snowboard injuries. He is based at the Clinic Gut in the Center for Bone and Joint Surgery in St. Moritz, Switzerland. So many riders have tried hard and failed to pronounce his surname over the years that he is now simply known as "Dr. George."

The Clinic Gut sees a large number of injured riders passing through its emergency room doors every year, and the volume is increasing as snowboarding grows in popularity. This has allowed the medical staff to achieve considerable expertise in treating a wide variety of snowboarding injuries; while the Swiss resort itself has established strong connections with the international pro snowboarding community, it is also the home of the Biomex Protection Systems.
