More About Dr Black and Surgery at B & W

I received this today from a person on the braintmr list and thought I'd post it here:

My mom had surgery for a GBM with Dr. Black last October, on a Sunday morning. He scheduled the surgery for 9 am so he could attend church first. I felt that was a very good sign--always good to have a doctor who calls on the man upstairs! Dr. Black's wife is an Episcopal priest and one of his daughters was my mom's intern. He is there all hours of the day and night, very dedicated and talented. One of my brother's buddies from college is an anaesthesiologist and did a rotation with Dr. Black-- he told us there's none better.

My mom was awake through the surgery and she felt she was in very good hands. The neuro ICU staff are wonderful. The regular neuro inpatient floor rooms are a bit crowded and can be noisy at night--you may want to bring a pair of earplugs.

A parking tip--the garage under his office is cheaper than the one across from the main entrance. In case you get the munches, the Au Bon Pain in the lobby is open 24 hours except late Saturday night (they clean it) and the cafeteria makes great french fries!

OK, so French Fries are a weakness of mine lol. Everything I hear about Dr Black sounds more and more amazing...I think I was right when I mentioned in a previous post that I don't think the man ever sleeps! I was also told that when Ringo Starr's daughter had a brain tumor and they had the resources to go to any Dr in the world they chose Dr Black to do her surgery :-)
