Children's Hospital is a gem in the Buffalo area. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't be here today.
In 1961, when I was 4, I stuttered a lot. My parents took me to the stuttering clinic at Chldren's. Being the first time there, they gave me a physical and found that my BP was that of an adult. Bunch of tests narrowed the cause down to a congenital constricted blood vessel or malformed kidney. First operation to repair it didn't work and went back in a few months later and had my kidney removed. Remember the whole thing. BP was then back to normal. Docs told my parents just don't let me play sports where i could be hit in the kidney (football, hockey and high diving). The doctors that operated on me eventually became the heads of Urology at Walter Reed, and UB Med School.
