There may be forum members better qualified than I, but there are quite a few who are not. Not casting stones, just sayin'.
As an aside I did train with an orthopedic surgeon, Lewis Yocum, who became the Angels team physician for a number of years and was instrumental in developing Tommy John surgery with Dr. Jobe, who gets more credit.

Dr. Frank,
Thank you to you and any other docs out there and on the forum.
In August of 2015 I dealt with a stage 4 lymphoma, Diffuse Large B Cell.
I should have died at least 3 or 4 times during those remaining months in 2015, yet here I am.
I had a great kid at the time take care of me at KU Med. He's early 30's now.
Kept me alive and he is the ONLY Oncology doc I see for follow up, even though he is in Hays KS now, instead of Kansas City. I will drive to see him. I used to fly from OC in CA, but recently moved back to Olathe.
Anyways, Thank you Frank for the help and hope you gave to patients who benefited from your care and expertise.
Lou
