My appointment with my surgeon is tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the advice on questions to ask. I have also been seeing what I can find about about him ahead of time. He specializes in Thoracic surgery so that is a plus. I have also been reading that he has a great bedside manner. What concerns my wife though is his age. He graduated med school in 1964. I haven't found anything negative on him. everything has been good. Will know more tomorrow.
