Dr. Francis, I just wanted you to know how much I mean it when I tell you that you have given me my life back since you performed my surgery. Prior to that, there were many days I did not want to go on with the pain. My life sucked and I had not enjoyed life in years. My husband suffered along with me as it affected our daily life. You are a gifted, special man and surgeon. One who has the gift of being a healer. You listen to the patient and already have in your mind what the problem is before you even review diagnostic testing. This is a very special gift and I hope you know in your heart that you have it. Use it wisely and I know that you will continue to change many other lives such as mine. As you already know, I had seen multiple surgeons asking for help. I was turned away at each door feeling like I was either a drug seeker or God knows what else. I knew in my soul that you were the right person to do my surgery. I was not afraid the day of surgery as I knew you would take care of me. You have. I am so grateful that you did my surgery. I know you had to have struggled making the decision to be my surgeon since we work together professionally and we are friends. It must have been hard on you to become the doctor and me the patient. I want you to know, I thank you with everything I have for making that decision. Thank you seems like it is only a small thing I can say to the man who listened to me and did what he could to help. But in our culture those are the words we have so, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Without you, I am not sure where I would be at this time.
K.K.
