Blast from the past .....

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!
