Fw: RE: My sister..

*Ed is a friend of my brother - he is also a neurosurgeon- one that
consulted on my case originally.

Dear Ed,

Thanks so much for you help. 

Perhaps Dr. did not give the more detailed response that you
provided.

You help is deeply appreciated.  If there is ever any way I can be of
service, please let me know.

Jim

There is a new technology which could provide a better result - inert
material less likely to reactivate infection, that will cosmetically
reconstitute your sister's original cranial shape - from what I can tell
worth waiting for. I just spoke with Dr who emailed your sister 
last  week. He expects to have this material available in late Jan or
early Feb - well within the optimal window of time.
Infections can be serious. I think it would be worthwhile to wait a bit
for any available advantage
The word patient has several meanings
Please forward this to her.
My office tel is 236 299 3129
All my best wishes to her and to you for a Merry  and a Happy and Healthy
New Year
Ed

Hi Ed,

I hope the holidays find you in a peaceful, contented and reflective
place with much happiness for you and your family.  Judy and I had
tickets for ART on the Sunday PM of the Christmas open house but I was
told that your house was just beautiful and that you and Suzanne were the
most gracious of hosts.

Of course, even in the holiday season, it is difficult not to be at least
slightly concerned when there is obviously a cadre of foxes in the
constitutional chicken coop...but, I suppose, that's another matter.

In talking with my sister (Margaret) last night she expressed some
concern which I would like to share with you in the hopes that you might
offer some guidance.

In discussions after her operations, Dr. seemed to indicate that
there was a "window" in which the next operation could take place.  Dr.
recently (12/17) assured her that he was waiting to hear from the
company that manufactures the item to be inserted and there was no cause
for concern.  Yet, Margaret is concerned, a concern exacerbated, perhaps,
by the difficulties encountered in this process during the last 12
months.

I have the greatest confidence in your diplomatic skills, honesty,
candidness and integrity and I hope my request is not too much of an
imposition.  But, would you please have a look at the situation and give
us a frank assessment.  Reasonable people, even highly regarded
professionals, can have different viewpoints on these matters and we
would greatly appreciate yours.

Please call me if you have any questions.

Jim
