Dr Mologne
I'm still thinking of people to send thank you notes to for helping me along the path to acceptance. One is Dr Mologne, who performed a Bankart repair on my left shoulder in 2001 at Naval Medical Center, San Diego, known simply to the locals as Balboa. Even before I'd been hit by a car, dislocated my shoulder, and Dr Mologne and his residents sewed the cartilage back onto my scapula, I'd wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. He let me follow him around the clinic and OR for a week during my convalesence. Those memories have been some of my best motivators over the last three years.
He's gone into private practice in Wisconsin. If you've got an orthopedic problem in Wisconsin, well, my shoulder hasn't made any weird squishing sounds since the surgery, nor does it subluxate when I close a driver's side car door. I'd go back to him.
