P_Gurl had this information posted as a sticky until she got mad at us and took her stuff and went home (come back, we miss you.)
Anywho, Jane Green copied this and someone was asking about the shape of her breasts so soon after post op, so I went and found the thread Jane reposted all of P_Gurl's collection of web links and old threads.
Here goes:

Still looking for the tragic but well written story I read about Dr. Frank Gerow and Dr. Thomas Cronin...This may be it from Texas Monthly 1995 by Mimi Swartz (you will need to subscribe to the online magazine to read the entire story but it is an interesting one about these two doctors and Ms. Lindsey too). David Schwimmer starred in an HBO movie called "Breast Men" (1997) loosely based on Drs, Gerow and Cronin and probably this story.

| Possible to get this thread stickied? It has a ton of great information and it is much easier to have it all in one place - especially when the search function isnt working. |
