Our daughter needed an unusual type of nerve surgery and only two
surgeons in the US performed the operation. A local surgeon was going to
do it but, after he broke his foot, referred our daughter to a surgeon
in New Hampshire. The thought of surgery was scary and our daughter
asked us to accompany her.
The count-down to surgery involved
several steps. First, her medical records were sent to the New Hampshire
surgeon. Next, our daughter met with the surgeon. Using an anatomical
model, he explained the surgery in simple and concise words. Medical
tests were the third step and our daughter had them the next day.
