On my evening rounds, I umped into MC outside Pat's room. MC had severe back pain w progressive scoliosis and had surgery Monday. Her rib hump is gone, shoulders level and her back feels better already.
MC and her family have befriended our scoliosis family who just had surgery, encouraging them! We have 5 scoliosis guests up on the Duke Raleigh Orthopedic floor right now, w 2 more coming in tomorrow and Friday. These families hang out in large private rooms, and often get to meet and support each other.
MC will be heading home tomorrow morning after 3 nights in hospital.
Take care MC! Get well soon!

How can we care for scoliosis and kyphosis and spondylolisthesis better with conservative care like physical therapy, high-tech scoliosis braces, exercise and other techniques? What can be done to improve surgical care, and understand choices for surgery, learning from those around the world? How can we learn from aviation and from Deming's principles of "Standard Work" to constantly improve spine and all healthcare?
