heartbroken, so terribly devastated, the surgeon, Dr. Alan Yasko, that gave me my brand new knee this winter, died of a pulmonary embolism.
He was attending a conference in Cancun. He was only 51, and I am so sorry that others will miss out on his kindness and expertise.
oh no! 
I'm sorry Maddie 
- 51 is so young and it sounds like he was one heck of a unique human being.
