I built this site because I remember how many questions I had before and after my own surgeries. If something here helped you, confused you, or made you think, Richard really needs to cover this, I’d genuinely like to hear about it.

A Quick Note About Medical Questions

I’m happy to talk about my own experience, but I can’t diagnose symptoms, review wounds, recommend a surgical procedure, interpret test results, or tell you whether something happening during your recovery is normal.

I work in healthcare on the business and revenue-cycle side, but I am not a physician, surgeon, nurse, or other clinical provider. Questions about your incision, drainage, medications, infection concerns, activity restrictions, or other medical issues should go directly to your own healthcare team.

Please do not send photographs of wounds, medical records, insurance cards, Social Security numbers, policy numbers, or other sensitive medical or financial information through this contact form.
