  • Dr. Boachie - Nominated for CNN Heroes Tribute

    Hello all,

    I nominated my daughter's surgeon, Dr. Boachie at HSS, for this special on CNN, and I just heard back from the producers that he's been selected as a possible finalist! The producer asked me if I knew of any other people who would be willing to speak to CNN about their experiences with Dr. Boachie. It could be patients, nurses, parents, anyone. I know he's made a difference in so many lives. If you want to help get him on the show, please send me a PM with your email address and or phone number, and I will pass it on to the producer. She asked that I try to get her some other names within 72 hours.

    Thanks for your help!
    Susanna

She was operated on March 9th, 2005 by Dr. Boachie-Adjei at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. She was fused from T11 to L3, using an anterior approach, and the major curve corrected to 20 degrees. She's doing great!

      Hi Susanna...

      You might want to post your email address (you'll need to put a fake space in for it to appear.. e.g. susanna@ aol.com). I've posted a link to your message in another forum, and some people might not wish to register in order to send you a message.

      Regards,
