He has heard all about you (from me) and was thrilled to have the literature I took to him from the foundation. Sentara Norfolk is a teaching hospital (Eastern Virginia Medical School) and he is head of the Otolaryngology department. He does alot of speaking, teaching, etc. He is big into survivors talking to other survivors and gives me other patients numbers at almost every visit. Did you know you are almost at 1000 posts??? That must be some kind of record!
