It's a Miracle!

Stanford's new definition of a "twin bed"!

It was an early start for rooms C107 and C108 at Stanford Medical Center. At 6:30 am PST Chris was transported to Pre-Op, but not before the twins could wreak havoc on their nurses. Both insisted on including hand written post-it notes to the surgeon on their charts and bodies. These stated their requests:
Chris:
Dr. Busque - While you're at it, can you please do a tummy tuck.
Thanks, Chris
ps No catheter please!
Thom (for Chris' chart):
Please perform the following:
1) Breast Augmentation
2) Brain Transplant
Our family would really appreciate it.
Needless to say the nurses and surgeon were kept entertained.

Chris on his way to surgery

At 12:30 pm, Thom was transported to Pre-Op. En route, the surgeon, Dr. Busque, informed us that Chris' surgery went really well and everything looked good. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Fink, explained the operating procedure and after a blood test they were ready to wheel Thom into surgery.

Around 4:00 pm Dr. Busque came out to inform us that Thom's surgery was successful and that the kidney was working PERFECTLY! It is a modern miracle and we are SO grateful for the positive outcome.

The man of the hour, Dr. Busque!
