Hi Bridget,Welcome to the adhesion forum. I'm sure that you have
received as much information as possible from Helen. She is absolutely
wonderful! I have learned so much from her . Maybe if you E-Mailed
David Wiseman he would be able to supply you with a Dr.s name in your
area . David Wiseman is the person we can thank for this forum,you can
find his e-mail address at the left of the forum postings under A
Patuents guide to adhesions you are not alone . He should be able to
help you . Good luck and again welcome .
