Dr. Anthony Youn

Although like the scientific part of me, you know, the rational part of my head is like, say no, don't operate on her.

This is a big mistake.

But there was that part of me that was like, I've got to do this for her.

And for some reason I know it's going to be okay.

So her surgery, so I tell her, look, I say, look, you know, I'm willing to do this operation for you, but I need to tell you, like, I don't know what's going to happen.

Like, I can't guarantee your result.

And I said, you know, we can try to get your insurance to pay for it.

I don't even know what they're going to pay for it.

And I said, well, but let's do this.

I feel like I need to help you.

so the the night before her surgery i don't do this most i don't do this much um but i prayed for her and i prayed that the surgery was going to go fine and that she was going to do fine you're such a sweet doctor i get to the operating room we do this operation and it goes so smoothly like it literally took like two and a half hours

removed all the scar tissue, and she just flew in her post-operative recovery.

And I knew at the time when I was operating, as things were going along, I didn't feel alone.

I felt like I was being guided.

So the funny thing is she comes back a few weeks later.

I think I went on vacation or something, so I hadn't seen her.

And she came back a few weeks later, no cane.

She has a cake that she baked for me.

And she knew that her insurance had rejected the claim that they weren't going to pay for surgery.

And she's like, look, I'm really sorry.
