[Leica] Repair job... on ME

[Henning Wulff]

Before I had my knee replacement surgery, I got hold of an iPad app for doctors from a company that makes artificial joints that details the procedure step by step. I suggested to my surgeon that since we had been discussing a partial anaesthesia I could keep up on the iPad and give him some pointers when he strayed. After that a full anaesthetic was all that was talked about, and what I was given. It seemed he didn't need any pointers anyway, as the operations on both knees went very well.
