Doctor Johnson, I appreciate your expertise, but I can't help but worry about Poolin's chances. Will this surgery really make a difference for him? Doctor Johnson: Poolin's case is unique, and the surgery does hold promising results. However, it's important to remember that every patient responds differently to treatment.
Whispering to Nick Bro… are they talking about my surgery?
