I am pretty financially strapped. I knew going into the surgery that it was going to be hard for me financially. I just don't have it.

Jean Riches

[It's not known if he will need surgery.] With this kind of injury you have to wait, ... We'll have a better idea next week.

Dr Peter Gregory

The fact that the child was still in the hospital with a ruptured spleen warranting emergency surgery, and somebody is accusing someone of having intentionally done this, we need to investigate.

Mike Hanson

He's talking but he's very confused. He's not aware of what happened. He's having surgery tomorrow for his broken neck, and we're hoping to go home on Monday or Tuesday.

Heidi Jasso

There was some healing taking place, and there was a possibility that he could play with it. But after going through the rehab process, and consulting with the doctors, it became apparent that was not going to happen and surgery became the next option.

Dave Nonis

She hasn't had a surgery; we haven't changed the size of the ball; we haven't decreased the distance from the plate to the rubber. It's just been about faith and believing in what she could do.

Tiffany Tootle

If someone handed [you] a scalpel, that doesn't mean you're qualified to do surgery.

John Nester

We've really moved far away from preventive surgery, and this is another example of that.

David R. Flum

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Al McGuire

Does it matter if someone's doing brain surgery without a license? ... Chances are, they'll (the patient) have their brain put in backwards.

Brian Brown

It's tough going into the clubhouse every day knowing you're not going to play. It's a long road, and it seems even longer right after surgery. But it goes by quicker if you've got a good work ethic, and he's got the best one in this clubhouse. I'm saying he'll be back before anyone knows it.

Sean Burnett

I didn't think I would be able to catch again after I had knee surgery. But I had to take one for the team. I hated to give up first base.

Matthew Hall

This is truly a remarkable and historic time in plastic surgery. The ability to help restore some hope to a person who suffers from severe facial disfigurement for an improved quality of life is a wonderful thing. Still, there are many unanswered questions regarding this challenge and many important considerations for all involved.

Bruce Cunningham

When you're doing surgery, it's much better to have smaller tools.

Thomas Wang

He is doing well. He is conscious and talking. He underwent surgery yesterday and that went well.

Susan Hansen

With this surgery, there's a good chance that I'll be back (for the playoffs). I don't want to miss the most important past of the season at the end.

Martin Havlat

I had two surgeries after the season was over. I had a nagging knee injury. I tore the sheath away from my left quad. I had surgery on my left wrist. I was trying to play through it. I was a little bit disappointed.

Andrea Valadez

The pain stopped after the surgery. There's a little numbness in my fingers, but that's going away.

Alfred Balauro

I am close to being three weeks out of surgery so who knows?

Duce Staley

What we've said all along is what the MRI, we thought, confirmed yesterday. We think Ramon probably is going to need surgery. But the MRI yesterday did not change our status that Ramon, if he's fairly comfortable and can play with the pain he's got, he should be able to play. But only Ramon knows how that feels.

Todd Hutcheson

I'm probably in the best shape I've been in since 2000. Six months after this new procedure was used -- less invasive surgery -- I was able to start doing everything again.

Dominique Moceanu

We're waiting for a ligament that has already been operated on to heal. The doctors are trying to come up with a plan that is more cautious and patient in order to try and avoid surgery.

Ramon Ramirez

For a guy that doesn't complain, that works extremely hard and really never receives credit for the things that he does for this team ... it's tough. We've all been injured, but this kind of an injury, with surgery -- you never know what can happen afterwards.

Donovan Mcnabb

I kind of went in with a goal. I had the surgery. It's something I had to do. I looked at it like practice. I took it as serious as practice. At times, I had my ups and downs but I'm out on the field again, so obviously it paid off.

Byron Tinker

It was just a freak occurrence. I was going into second base ... and the next thing I knew I was on the ground and my foot wasn't pointing the right way. It was weird. After the initial pain there was a feeling of calm. I knew I was gonna need surgery, I knew my season was over, so I just laid there and waited for them to bring me some drugs.

Travis Hanson

The advice we received from Ashley's specialist is that it will take time to derive full benefit from the surgery he underwent in December.

Dr Peter Gregory

It's a bit late for a crash course in surgery. Probably the best time to address these issues is in advance, during antenatal classes.

Dr Ed Keogh

Further examination along with an MRI confirmed that Steve has torn ligaments in his right wrist and that surgery is necessary. We anticipate the recovery time to be between six and seven months.

Matt Sokolowski

You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school.

Ron Perlman

Radical surgery like that proposed at Delphi is no solution at all. It is a formula for demise, if not confrontation.

Marco Trbovich

It looked like surgery accelerated the disease by two years on average, which is the usual dormancy of this [blood vessel-free] tumor state. All the data show this.

Michael Retsky

He's definitely out for two-to-three weeks minimum -- and that's the good news. The bad news is surgery and he's out for the year. We're preparing for the next three weeks without him. Hopefully he has a chance to come back this year.

Bill Beattie

It is an excellent treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia, and has dramatically improved the cure rate and survival rate for patients with this disease. It also appears to prevent recurrence of head and neck cancer in those patients that have been treated with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Gary Lewis

That was my idea, I didn't want that joker to get hit in the face. He had a lot of plastic surgery.

Danny Carlisle

I never even thought we would be able to raise enough money for the first (surgery).

Katie Blackhall

Porno films - encounters are presented with all the charm of open-heart surgery.

Walter Goodman

She's out of surgery and she's fine.

Pambos Charalambous

The surgery I had on the elbow was to clean up some scar tissue, and it's the same elbow problem that essentially ended my career on the regular tour.

Doug Tewell

He's going to be missed. He's a reliable defender for us. But Nicky Wallin is back [after sitting out a long stretch following wrist surgery]. It's a chance to expand his role, and he's starting to feel more confident.

Peter Laviolette

If (pitch counts) were a panacea to our problems, I'd be all for it. But disabled lists are loaded with pitchers. There's hardly a pitcher living anymore that hasn't had surgery.

Dallas Green

We're paying now for the sins of the past. The mill rate was kept low, even reduced, but the [fund to replace equipment] was stripped and the pension account wasn't funded. Either we swallow the bitter pill now, or take the radical surgery in a few years.

Mayor Sebastian Giuliano

He said 'You don't have to go through with the surgery, but I don't feel you'll ever be able to run the same if we don't do it', so I sort of had no option.

Matthew Lloyd

He and his wife, Nicole, with their son, Dru, wanted to start one in Atlanta. We are already helping four women in Atlanta. Two we helped to get surgery for facial injuries.

Oneta Bobbett

He is now in surgery.

Jamal Karimirad

It's an essential move. Winn-Dixie was in a downward spiral, and this kind of restructuring helps them pull out of it. If you've got a body that's sick, you perform major surgery. What we're seeing here is that major surgery.

Mark Husson

... proud though I may be of my profession, it never occurred to me that it was meant to be a working majority, ... That more than half of young men in TV would want to cover sports has the same ring to it as if we learned more than half the males in medical school wanted to concentrate on cosmetic surgery.

Frank Deford

The first part of having surgery, that first week, was depressing because I knew I was done for the whole season. There were no ifs, ands or buts coming back early, you were done. It was hard the first couple of months watching the guys (play).

Tyrone Calico

I don't know what people thought if I forgot how to play, if I was hurt or what. I had people coming up to me saying, 'How was the surgery?' People think I was out 16 months or something. I didn't have any surgery.

Scott Spiezio

If they had a surgery scheduled that would need a lot of blood, they might have to check with us first.

Peggy Simpson

There is no surgery involved. It's like a contact lens with hair injected into it. Then using medical adhesive it is applied to the person's head.

Chris Licursi

We are not sure what the problem is, or whether he will need surgery.

Kevin Blackwell

My mantra going into a surgery like this was you're going to come out of it better. I didn't feel bad before, but I feel great now.

Pat Doyle

My father has actually been very strict about it. He tells people, 'My child is not an interpreter.' I haven't done an insane amount of it, but I've definitely been put in situations where you really have to think about the consequences, like with my mom's surgery.

Lauren Boardman

We are optimistic today's surgery will help address Coach Sutton's chronic back and hip pain. The surgery went as planned. Coach Sutton is recovering comfortably. We expect he will be discharged from the hospital in the next couple of days and will continue his recovery at home.

James Rodgers

Every surgery I've had the last five years, I wondered, Can I do this again? Do I want to do this again? Then I realize I have to make money because I'm not qualified to do anything else.

Bill Glasson

That is significantly higher than most people expect when they think of obesity surgery. Patients are at higher risk for having bad things happen after surgery because of their advanced age or other conditions.

David R. Flum

Based on objective tests of physical impairment, we found that the patients had levels of functional disability comparable to what you would see with congestive heart failure, as well as pain comparable to what you might expect in patients coming out of surgery, and fatigue comparable to patients with multiple sclerosis.

Brian Fallon

I know he had a lot of concerns going into this surgery, how he was going to come out of it, how long it was going to take. I'm sure he's pretty excited about coming back this soon.

Ryan Vogelsong

My goal the day I had the surgery was to be ready for the playoffs ... and I'm close. Hopefully, the doctor will feel everything is fine and I'm going to be ready soon. That's what I want.

Martin Havlat

He went into a hiding place during surgery. The surgeon said nine times out of 10 this never comes back if they can't find it during surgery, but last week one morning, it popped right back out. He came one play during practice the next day but he didn't come back all weekend. Hopefully he stays hidden.

Dan O'dell

They kind of wanted me to (have the surgery) or kind of hinted, but it was my (decision). It hurt just bad enough to where I needed to get it done.

Tim Barnes

I want a life after football. I want to be around. I know (gastric bypass surgery) is a risk, but I'll be all right. My wife is a nurse and she'll take care of me. I just know that I can't be like this forever.

Barrett Brooks

I'm not having surgery. I'm too old to go under the knife. I'd retire before I do that.

Danny Fortson

It's a lot cheaper to pay $75 for an educator visit than it is to pay thousands of dollars for a major surgery because of a diabetes complication. How (insurance companies) are looking at this is very backwards.

Beth Dziengelewski

I made my decision (about an agent) ahead of time so I wouldn't be scrambling for answers at the last minute. Now I'm just doing my rehab. I had surgery to have the pins out last week, and I'm 90 percent already. It's gotten so much better in the last two weeks, it's incredible.

Matt Meinrod

When patients are asked about the medications they are taking, many do not mention medicinal herbs because they assume that they are safe. What many unsuspecting patients don't know is that the natural herbs they are taking may cause serious complications during and after surgery.

James Bradley

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

Kate Winslet

Brittany is a tremendous asset on and off the field. She brings such passion and excitement to the team. Having her be so unselfish and put the surgery off for the team... the others just feed off of that.

Lori Miller

It is now clear that radiotherapy saves lives in women who have had breast-conserving surgery and in women whose cancer has substantial spread to the armpit, even if they have already had a mastectomy. This should encourage women who are offered radiotherapy to go ahead and have the treatment. It may also encourage doctors to consider more women for radiotherapy than they have done in the past.

Sarah Darby

All a recipe is is a road map -- how to get from Point A to Point B. In the recreational books, it's a lot more descriptive. Cooking isn't brain surgery. It isn't rocket science. It's the application of some basic principles. It just takes some experience.

Greg Forte

We want him to return as close as he can to full motion without pain before the reconstructive surgery. That helps with recovery. We do that with ACL injuries.

Brent Bankston

I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don't want to be an old hag. There's no fun in that.

Scarlett Johansson

I had knee surgery last year, and now I have shin splits. I was trying to get off the court as fast as I could against Pittsburgh.

Ketevan Shmakova

It also is important to note that blood pressure reductions occurred in patients even though they remained obese with (a body mass index) in the 35 range, which is still not ideal, further suggesting that weight loss itself -- in this study, achieved through gastric bypass surgery -- can improve health outcomes.

Madelyn Fernstrom

It was put to me, from (Cincinnati Reds trainer) Dr. (Timothy) Kremchek, that, 'you need to have surgery,' ... 'When all the smoke clears,' he says, 'you don't have any options. You have to have surgery.'

Scott Rolen

You don't start any throwing program until you do that. We're very confident Woody will be able to do that without any hiccups just because of the shape he was in going into surgery.

Mark O'neal

I didn't find (the surgery) terribly uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean other people don't. It needs to be taken on a case by case basis. I just hate to see insurance companies determining that.

Mary Fischer

After the surgery I could barely stand up. It's really frustrating having to take slow steps back.

Connor Rabinowitz

The surgeon did not believe that surgery was necessary as Ceri's symptoms are resolving themselves.

Mark Davies

Is there a price that is too expensive for open heart surgery, because that is what we've got here? We've got a terminally ill patient presented in the emergency room with life-threatening injuries.

William Rochelle

Laurie actually had surgery on both knees, and she is only a few months out of surgery and has been cleared to get back in the gym. Her strength is up, and her conditioning is really good. I could see her both on bars and beam, and as her knee gets better maybe back on vault.

Mark Stevenson

Kerry Wood's shoulder surgery was deemed a success. (Cubs) officials are hoping he can begin throwing in four months and be healthy enough to suffer his next injury by spring.

Bob Hille

Surgery is an option, but the advice we have received from two leading specialists is that the injury may still settle without recourse to an operation.

Dr Peter Gregory

The doctor told us he could be legally blind — never drive, never see the biggest letters on the eye chart — or he could have the surgery and spend a lot of his childhood in the doctor's office.

Angel Lindsey

It was a waiting game till Monday when he had his surgery. Those three days were horrible. We didn't sleep or eat. We just stayed there at the hospital.

Marlin Howell

Last year's surgery, we were working on the ligament. This will be just under the skin.

Stan Johnston

The good news is that no surgery is required.

Tommy Smook

There were a number of times towards the end of last year after I had some more surgery I didn't quite know whether or not I'd make it back onto the paddock, so just to be running around again is a good feeling.

Ben Tune

These studies demonstrate that there are vulnerable patient populations and potential additional costs associated with surgery but suggest that surgical volume helps mitigate these risks and costs.

M. Wolfe

Let's say you're coming here for surgery. You're going to become vulnerable because of the anesthesia or maybe because of some medication. People's expectations are that they're coming here and they want to be safe.

Bill Becker

The jury clearly knew that the Plano Surgery Center was guilty here and wanted to send them a clear message. And I think that it is a very loud message I am sure that Plano Surgery Center will get.

Geoffrey Harper

I can say that they thought it was successful surgery, and we expect his rehab should be good. Now, we'll see what it's like in January, but right now everything is pretty optimistic.

Walt Jocketty

Dependent upon the outcome of the surgery it appears he will be unavailable for competitive international cricket for a period of approximately eight weeks.

John Gloster

The surgery isn't helping if afterwards, the child needs to come back. These trips are expensive. That's why they select children who won't need care afterwards and can have a normal life following the surgery.

Len Stevens

He's going to call me after the surgery or have his wife call me. He's going to be here Sunday for sure so he can say his goodbyes, but he's coming back Saturday.

Perry Hill

I was ranked No. 2 in the world and then I was out for 15 months between my shoulder surgery and my parents getting in a motorcycle accident in 2002.

Tommy Haas

I was just sort of oblivious to what was going on. When Thome had surgery, I knew I'm the guy for the long haul and am trying to step it up. Knowing you're going to be in there every day is a big thing.

Bryan Howard

We are pleased to report recent tests show dramatic improvement in his bone density, making surgery possible. While initially beneficial at managing the pain, in recent months, the injections have not been as effective and the pain has only intensified. Delaying surgery is no longer a viable treatment option.

James Rodgers

If I have surgery and I have to sit out next year, I'd be done. Either he'll say this is going to heal up enough to pitch, or we're going to have to do surgery — which I don't want to do. With surgery, I have no chance and I'll miss all next year because it's a minimum of 12 months.

Troy Percival

For women who are documented to have heart disease, women who have angina, who have had a heart attack, who've had bypass surgery, who've had angioplasty, that hormone therapy not be started for the purpose of cardiac protection, and the reason for it is for the potential early risk.

Nanette Wenger

Surgery will not improve the range of motion enough.

Bill Neff

I heard they thought it was a blockage of the intestines. Yesterday (Sunday) he was in a lot of pain and there was talk of doing surgery, but his condition improved and I heard that he would be able to leave hospital straight away.

Saburo Kawabuchi

The man had cancer. He had to have surgery. His voice didn't recover in time. He's now fully recovered and he's willing and able to perform the concert. They won't let him.

Skip Miller

When we played them, he was coming off a few weeks break; he was coming off knee surgery. Now you look at him on film, he looks like he's back on his comfort level.

Gary Brackett

I'd be cautious about going to places that advertise a lot. It's very expensive to advertise and they may have to do a lot of surgery to pay for it and push the limits on candidacy.

Dr. Robert Maloney

Laparoscopy requires a different skill set than open surgery. Surgeons typically view patients from the outside in. When a laparoscopic camera is inserted, they see patients from the inside out. Hand/eye coordination is difficult to master (so) practice on a simulator would allow surgeons to perfect their technique with no risk to patients.

M. Cenk Cavusoglu

It's about surgery. It's our show sort of on speed.

Shonda Rhimes

We have an ageing population and the demand for elective surgery continues to increase, which provides us with a real challenge.

Michael Wright

People have a lot of options to fight the signs of aging. You really can keep your skin from showing its age and all without the trauma and downtime of surgery.

Dr. Marino Rios

I knew that one year after surgery, I wouldn't be as good as two years after surgery.

Scott Sauerbeck

[Before going in for a scheduled surgery or procedure, make sure that all of the specialists who will work on you, such as the anesthesiologist or radiologist, are in your insurance network or charge you only in-network rates.] Just because the hospital is in-network doesn't mean the [specialist] doctors are, ... This can mean a savings of $20,000 to $30,000.

Nora Johnson

If she didn't get the surgery she would continue to have rashes and ulceration under the roll of skin.

Dr. Phillipe Capraro

Andrews told me I had a 20 percent chance to come back and compete at the major-league level. The only reason it was that high is that he did my elbow surgery and knew me.

Steve Karsay

It was a very minor surgery. It was more a cleanup than anything else. It wasn't like a labrum or rotator cuff tear. I bounced back quickly and I'm ready to go.

Jon Rauch

Her kidneys are shutting down. They are doing this surgery to save the kidneys and give the doctors time to find out what is wrong.

Kelly Nichols

Do to surgery what 'Jaws' did to swimming in the ocean.

Joana Vicente

The acquisition of CTS, its innovative products and strong pipeline, will provide a platform for Guidant's growth in cardiac surgery.

Ronald W. Dollens

We see the Fed easing as a flu shot that will help prevent recession in 1999, but fixing the global problems that underlie the markets' malaise will require major surgery. So basically, I think the market sees through this as a temporary boost, but there are fundamental problems that aren't yet resolved.

William Hummer

No operation should be carried out unless absolutely necessary . . . nor should a surgeon operate unless he would undergo the same operation himself in similar circumstances, ... The Knife Man: The Extraordinary Life and Times of John Hunter, Father of Modern Surgery.

John Hunter

Carpel tunnel syndrome makes a perfect example. A lot of people would rather go for surgery (to get rid of it).

Terry Liew

The first 24 hours after surgery are the most dangerous period, for the microsurgery may cause blood-vessel damage.

Zhang Hui

If you need heart surgery, you don't want a surgeon who only got a C in medical school. The same principle applies in helping people with mental illnesses.

Ken Duckworth

He was just a different guy, a remarkable person. He just had bigger shoulders than anyone else. You could always rely on him. He never once asked, 'Why me?' He never once complained. Even on the day we had the surgery, he was crying, because he was more worried about me than him. He regretted having the surgery more than me. That says volumes about what kind of guy he was.

Steve Quidor

Doctors have indicated that the surgery was performed as expected without incident.

David Catalfamo

I got the bill for my surgery. Now I know what those doctors were wearing masks for.

James H. Boren

I don't know how long I'll be out. [It] depends on how the surgery goes. Maybe a month [or] a month and a half.

Luis Rivas

We're seeing gangrenous legs ... people are going to lose limbs at this point. They're actually going to have to go to surgery and get them cut off.

John Crowley

It will become the standard of care. In five years, I think we will not be able to imagine a world in which we do not have a camera in a cardiac surgery operating room.

John Byrne

I really don't know how you could put an exact price on something like that because each surgery is different.

John Howser

Marek sustained a fracture in his right shoulder, which was discovered during an MRI and the subsequent result is that he will require surgery. We expect him to make a complete recovery in four to five months.

Matt Sokolowski

She opened her eyes about an hour after surgery.

Michael Wenger

I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body.

Eva Green

They botched one of the two surgeries and created a hernia. You can't treat chronic pain with surgery.

Eric Berg

They botched one of the two surgeries and created a hernia, ... You can't treat chronic pain with surgery.

Eric Berg

It's a question of balancing risks and benefit of surgery.

Emily Harris

Five hundred years before Christ some physicians of ancient India, working under the influence of the Lord Buddha, advanced the art of healing to so perfect a state that they were able to abolish surgery, although the surgery of their time was as efficient, or more so, than that of the present day.

Edward Bach

He (Richards) had his done and he's back to 100 per cent. His surgery lasted an hour and a bit so his surgery was a little longer and he had a little more tearing in his, but he's back to where he doesn't really think about it.

Ed Jovanovski

He's had back surgery, multiple knee surgeries, ... It's football. His body took a beating, and it all shows up in later years of your life. He's aged faster because there's so much stress and so much pain.

Earl Campbell
