Rating:  - GRATEFUL EX-PATIENT OF DR.HUFNAGEL
In November of 1997 I was hospitalized for a week with abdominal pain. Hospital tests showed a heterogeneous mass on my left side.

I had the case reviewed by the Office of the Inspector ... Read More
Rating: - THIS IS A MUST READ FOR ALL WOMEM
I highly recommend that every womam, past puberty, read this book. They need to be educated about this option -- and it needs to be taught -- by her, in medical schools all over the world.
Visit her web site to read current testimonies about this surgical procedure (FRS) that she developed.
