Early on in my posts I mentioned the fact that I suffered a severe injury to the same arm when I was 13 years old. I had several surgeries and have often wondered about the surgeon who fixed my arm the first time around.
I grew up in Maryland and I remember the physician left his practice shortly after he treated me to move back to his home land of Israel. Last night I was on PubMed looking for articles related to circulation issues after a fracture and radial nerve palsy. I didn't find what I was looking for but I did find an article about humerus fractures that cited a Dr. Edelson in Israel. I sent him and email and within an hour I had a reply - it was the orthopaedic surgeon who treated me in the 1970's. How great is that?
Random little story, but it made my day!
