August 22: BostonMed & Dr. Cohn
If you have nothing else to do with your time....
BostonMed is on ABC, a reality medical show that was filmed over a year ago and tells patient stories but mostly concentrates on the residents and interns at The Brigham, Mass Gen & Children's Hosp, which are all connected. Someone (Rose?) put in the comment section a few weeks ago that Dr. Lawrence Cohn was included. Just watched it and while I don't think he is highlighted enough (although I admit to being prejudiced!) it does give you a flavor for what he's like and how he is as a surgeon.
Google BostonMed, then go to Episode 6, put the cursor below the picture after it starts and go to just past the first notch on the timeline. Dr. Cohn's portion is fairly brief, first commenting on the chief resident and then coming into the surgery. A woman in her 30s needing aortic valve replacement and aneurysm repair.
You will see how incredibly blessed I was to have him for a surgeon and understand why I'm alive. He is probably one of the only surgeons in the world who could have saved me.
You will also have a better concept of why his warm and fuzzy treatment of me was such a stunning surprise to the staff!
Let me know what you think, Laurie

Laurie,
I will have to look that up.. scene and show would make nice tribute to him in your book!
Thank you for have such a clear way of painting word pictures for you expirences and vac! I could sit back and imagine the scene and the emotions! I am glad it was an emotional release for you even if not to the level you thought it would be... deep down I believe the benifits will be huge!
