Medical Bulletin

I haven't heard as much as a squeak out of the Infirmary to confirm their telephone call to me from 2 weeks ago. If I don't hear anything by Friday then I'll have to phone to hassle them a wee bit. Any of you who saw the BBC programme tonight about the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary will have seen the surgeon who is going to do my operation - Mr Campanella. He was shown performing a heart valve repair by keyhole surgery, a technique being pioneered by him and two other surgeons in the UK. This man inspires me with a great deal of confidence !! It was Mr Campanella who operated on Davy Grant - Davy told me that he was known in the ward as 'Mr Campanella aka God'. That'll do me.
