My boyfriend was in a motorcycle accident in June of 2005,lost his insurance and job July 2005. After 2 years a settlemant of 50,000 was awarded to him, but after lawyers cost, medical expenses there wasn't much left. His doctor at the time said he needed this procedure but without any insurance the surgery can't happen. We need help in finding a doctor that would do this surgery on a payment plan, he is currently working a job that could ultimately paralize him or worse. He's in his fifties it's suppose to be the time when we can finally relax and age with grace and dignity. If you could please help we would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Roxanne Stolp
