Dear Lynn, I've used the University of Houston Health Science Center in Houston. It was a great hospital. I've had 11 surgeries, and that hospital was one of the best. I am sure the Dallas one is probably the same. They are a teaching hospital which means that it may not be as expensive and easier to work out some type of payment plan for Bobbi. When I had surgery in Houston in 1987, I had a laprotomy (big incision) for the adhesions of course. The next morning after my surgery, my husband was sleeping on a folding bed in my room, I awoke to 15 doctors in my room (Interns) and they all got to take a turn and look at my incision, and ask me questions. As they were in my room for probably 15-20 minutes my husband was asleep and snoring very loudly. They were all just watching him snoring. We were all talking the whole time and right before they left he woke up and it startled him so bad to see 16 white jackets in the room,he jumped up so fast he fell off the bed into the floor, it was pretty hysterical. It hurt so bad to laugh, but I couldn't help it. Here is all these doctors trying to help him up off the floor, all of them laughing. He was so embarrassed. And of course when they came in the next morning to visit me again, my husband was up, showered, bed made up and waiting. The were still laughing at him.... Sorry to bore you with this, but my moral is that I had a very good experience with that teaching hospital and my doctors...I hope Bobbi will too. She certainly needs to get something done pretty quick. It was nice of you to offer to help her. keep us posted, okay. Your friend, Tami
