Re: Vacation Letter
This letter deals with an unusual concept of a 'Vacation": I need to be in Boston,
Massachusetts, approximately March 1-12, 2015, for the purpose of having ear surgery. These
surgeries, involving the Eustachian tubes, both left and right, will be performed by Dr. Dennis S.
Poe, M.D., a professor at Harvard Medical School. This involves a procedure that he has
pioneered. He is one ofthe few doctors anywhere who can do this. My acceptance for this was
based wi his review of my voluminous medical records detailing the history of these problems
and their treatment. If this proves successful, additional reconstructive surgery will follow,
although perhaps at a later dale. •• •• »
The necessity ofthis arises from the "implosion" ofmy left middle ear. This has occurred
gradually over the past few months, but has accelerated and become quite severe in just the past
few weeks. Ihave been under the care of Dr. William Rotzler, M.D., an ear specialist herein
umgview, who has treated me on a regular and ongoing basis for decades now. He has
periormed numerous procedures, including two tympanoplasties, in 2003 and 2009 involvina
recoMtruction ofthe ear drum on the right side. I have had asignificant hearing loss on the right
side for anumber of years. At this point, the left ear has amuch greater hearing loss than me
right, soaction is required. 6
Dr. Rotzler has scheduled a hearing test on December 30, 2014 (this was scheduled
