Brian,
I am an interventional radiologist and medical consigliere for my entire family and extended family. I'm not a gynecologist, neurosurgeon, orthopedist, etc...but my training has given me enough of a knowledge base on the various subspecialties to know when things aren't being done right and my colleagues fill in the blanks. If anything that you're told about your girlfriends procedure or the diagnosis doesn't sound right or you have questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Regards,
Jonathan
