Need a copy of the discovery Channel documentary

[Andrew]

Did anyone tape the documentary (Lifeline: Mayo Clinic) on the Discovery health channel? I tried to get it on my TV but i think Discovery Health in Canada is different than the Discovery Health in the US. I was really looking forward to watching it. If anyone knows where i can get a copy or if someone is willing to give me a copy of theirs i would appreciate it.

Thanks Andrew

Andrew,

I'm John's (the teenager featured in the documentary) stepdad. We, of course, have a tape of it and will be getting some duplicates made.

We feel that they did an excellent job of telling both John's story and showing the phenomenal work of the surgical team of Drs. Bishop, Shin and Spinner at the Mayo Clinic.

Don't know yet how we'll handle all of the requests for copies, though. Stay tuned for further updates.

Thanks for your reply Gene. I'll try and get a hold of discovery and see if i can get a transcript. If i have any luck i will post so others who want a copy can do the same. Keep me posted

Thanks, Andrew

Would LOVE to see a copy of this...trubble is, different video systems between the US and UK will make it practically impossible...any chance someone over there has video-to-DVD burning facilties and software? That could be the way to go with this...

Please could you get a copy of the program for me? I am, also, a patient of Dr Bishop & Dr Spinner. I am sooo interested in what your son had done, being that I did not get the program from my cable provider. I would really like to talk to you, either from this area or by e-mail. I am a 34 yr woman from Chicago and I have had my injury for 16 yrs now. My orginal doctor was Dr Wood, they refer to him as the "Big Cahuna (sp?)" He was the CEO of Mayo but now has since retired. Dr Bishop was training under Dr Wood when I had my muscle transfer. I would love to hear your sons story.

Hey Court do you think you could send a copy of the documentary my way. I don’t think there will be a problem if the tape or dvd is in USA format as I am in Canada. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Andrew
