dustbenny 0 Posted March 18, 2007 Hello to everyone. I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ortiz next month. I have been doing research for 6 months. I am a surgery nurse myself, and I enjoyed very much their frank discussion and invitation to come early and observe. They use modern equipment, the same instrumentation in many cases that we use in our OR's. At any rate, I still have the same "butterflies" as all of you. I am so looking forward to gaining control of this last area of my life that I can't seem to handle. Thanks for listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
