I recently had emergency spinal operation on my L7 s1-2 for a bacterial infection that I almost died from. My surgeon came into my room later to check on me and was so good natured and humble. I’m an artist and was painting with watercolor when he came into my recovery room. He smiled and said my operation went very well and he got outall of the infection, scoured the location and found a healthy spine and muscle/nerve network. I said I’d make him a cartoon depicting his crew hard at work.
