Retro,
I read your post about your surgery and you stated that Dr Lynch was one of your surgeons. Well I remembered that he was also one of the surgeons that was here at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center back in the mid to late 80s perfecting the techniques that were used for your surgery. I asked my father if it might be Steve Lynch and he said that it certainly could be. I also met Dr Lynch through my father back in the 80s. So, I am within 6 degrees of knowing you. Dr Lynch was also here with a surgeon from Japan named Dr Todo. He was also a fantastic surgeon and gentleman, just like Dr Lynch. My father actually attended a transplant conference in Australia in the 90s and was the guest of Dr Lynch. I called and talked with my father about him and he remembered him as quite a good guy. Pretty amazing that halfway around the world and we are within 6 degrees.
So I hope that all is well with you.
