When I was 13 I had surgery by Dr. Miller in Gastonia, NC. It was at a specialized hospital. I am hoping someone on this forum also had him as their doctor or went there for their surgery???

I was in Gastonia.
Yes, Dr. Miller operated on me in 1967. I was 14 at the time. I have many memories of the place - some aren't good memories! Do you remember the "stretching" machine? It was used, before surgery, to stretch the patient to see what degree of correction could be made to the curve. Do you know what the name of that machine was?

Yes!!! I remember Gastonia Hospital!!!
I had my operation in 1976. YES!! They stretched me on that monster machine. I cried so hard!!! It was soooo painful-like some sort of torturing contraption!!! I remember thinking how could my parents allow them to do this to me?!!
I hated so many things aobut that hospital but in time I did form friendships and we did have some fun times. It was very sad being 2 hours from home though. I only saw my family twice a week.
How are you doing now? Do you have any problems?Trese
