Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple University who was read a summary of the lawsuit, speculated about why a surgeon who had performed an operation on the back would leave a red rose on his patient's belly.
Actually they sometimes use the front instead of the back. So the Psychologist was a little clueless.
When I had my spine fused, they went through my stomach to remove the disk and put the metal cage in, then they go in through the back to put the screws and stuff in.
I have a scar front and back.
