      I really like my neurosurgeon, Dr. Alex Michael. He explains everything to the point where, oh, what is going on, what's going to happen, what's not going to happen. And it does help that I'm a nurse also. Sorry, I understand it a little bit more, but he takes very, very good care of me. And I would recommend him to anyone. He does take really good care of me. And he also calls my son and lets him know what's going on and explain everything to him. So I just enjoy him. And he is one of the doctors that really takes good care of me.

      Hi, I just want to thank you for the reminder. I appreciate that because let's just say everybody got different personalities. And his wasn't the best to me, but he did everything that he was supposed to do. But he didn't seem to be even interested, really interested, in my ordeal. But other than that, you know, I would give him a 10, but I have to stick with my 1. Thank you very much. I hope I haven't offended anybody.
