I forgot about that, when you have operations, and they are above expectations. You are truly discussed amongst colleagues, and once in a while a paper is even written and submitted.
This is done to share the knowledge these doctors learned from this procedure.
Some might want to say that you were just another patient, but with each procedure something is learned from your recovery.
Modern medicine is just that, quite new. My father had many heart attacks in his life, his first was his worse, while the others were just reminders that a stent would of gone a long way to helping him live easier. Back then this procedure was not even in a doctor's medicine bag.
His recovery was long and difficult, I remember his story as a reminder that the hospital he was in was built back in the days of the civil war. Many years later when the city finally built the new modern hospital of 1968, I was amazed at how far my father had come when he had another heart attack.
Those days are as ancient as that first hospital, modern medicine has given you another opportunity at a life, once again that team of doctors had a very good day, and they deserve to write a glowing report about your speedy recovery.
I am sorry I meant this message for fuagf.
