It dawned on me that in all of my previous posts to my Blog I had not mentioned the medical transplant team at NYU Medical Center. I have to say that my experience was very favorable and I was very pleased with the treatment I received - both pre and post surgery.
My kidney transplant coordinator, Min Zhou, was (and is) very friendly and helpful. To this date she continues to assist me with my requests and for that I am grateful.
My surgeon, Dr. Ahmed Fahmy, is exceptional. From his pre-op guidance, to the compassion and respect shown to my family while I was in recovery, to his post-op care, I am very grateful that Dr. Fahmy was, and is, my doctor.
The post-op staff in the ICU was also exceptional. While I cannot recall all of their names, Christine was one nurse whom my wife and I both remember as being very kind and attentive in the day immediately following my surgery.
To those I have mentioned above, and to all of those who helped me and my family through this procedure.....thank you very much.
