To the editor:
Re: “Need for new knee worth all the aches and pains,” Nov. 26.
I am terribly upset and dismayed over the article by Sandra Thomas about knee replacement surgery. Her reporting of her experience may be accurate for her but it is inaccurate for the majority of patients and gives a negative future experience for those folks for whom surgery is necessary.
I have worked for 23 years with rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons and can say they do not act in the manner in which she reports. I am proud to have been associated with such caring and expert health professionals.
I wish her well with her obvious satisfactory surgery.
