Message: <blockquote data-quote="THAT Gurl" data-source="post: 4076459" data-attributes="member: 45551">Stewart Smith in OKC is the neurosurgeon who did my neck surgery in 2015, I think it was. The man gave me my life back. One of the things that stood out the most to me, well 2 things actually:1. When he was going over my MRIs with me he said "I don't usually say things like this to patients but if you will let me do this I think I can change your life for the better." He was not wrong.2. When I was waking up in recovery the nurse kept asking me if I needed anything for pain. I did not. But I did "feel weird" and could not put my finger on exactly what was wrong. They ran me through all the little testing things they do for stroke, etc., ect., ect.  And kept wanting to know if I needed anything for pain.After a half hour or so, I FINALLY figured out what was wrong. It was, quite literally, the first time in my entire life that I did not have a headache of some degree or another. My vision was clear. No auras. No cloudiness. Not blurry. It was amazing!!I told you all that to tell you I grew up watching men and women doing surgeries up close and personal -- like being responsible for running the anesthesia machine, as well as assist in a much closer capacity if needed. For ANYONE to have THAT delicate a hand when fusing 3 vertebrae in 2 places is AMAZING. I don't say this about many doctors -- only a couple of them actually -- but I would trust Dr. Smith to do any kind of surgery on me or any of my loved ones. He is a phenomenal surgeon.</blockquote>
