It is very hard to use a few words or a short essay to describe my experience with this surgery at HSS, because it holds a substantial meaning, one that has been big enough to change my life.
A failed childhood surgery worsened my condition which made me view this surgery with much more caution, even with some fear and panic. But, I am truly grateful to Dr. Su. He not only patiently answered all kinds of surgical questions, but also gave me confidence. Because my condition is slightly more serious, I had some challenges during the recovery process as well. I kept in touch with Dr. Su after my surgery. Although we were thousands of miles apart, he would always reply to every one of my questions without delay, giving me motivation to keep going on my path to recovery. I have never met such a patient doctor before I feel that what Dr. Su has done for me has far surpassed his professional responsibility. He wants to better help his patients in every way. He is the person I will be grateful to for the rest of my life. He is my savior!
Here, I would also like to thank HSS and its entire medical team for everything they have done. They provided excellent medical care. I really hated hospitals! Hospitals usually make me think of the thick smell of disinfectant and white ceilings, but HSS changed my view of hospitals. The staff loved me and treated me like family, which made me feel at ease.
Now, I can finally walk normally without pain and discomfort. The feeling of walking normally for the first time in my life is truly amazing! It’s like I have been given a new life. It’s very hard to express this feeling in words: it is as though a new life waiting for me. Let’s go future!

很难用一小段话或者一小篇文章来描述我的这段经历、这次手术，因为它的意义太过重大，足以改变我的人生。
由于在小的时候的手术失败从而使得病情加重，这令我对这一次手术看得更为谨慎，甚至有些害怕和恐惧，但真的很感谢苏医生，他不厌其烦的为我解答关于手术的各种问题，并且从心理上给我信心，由于我的病情稍微严重，所以在康复的过程中也遇到了一些问题，术后我和苏医生也继续保持着联系，虽然相隔万里，但每一次我有问题的时候他都会尽快给我回复，给我动力让我坚持康复，我从未见过如此有耐心的医生，我觉得苏医生已经不仅仅是一位医生了，他所做的已经超过了他的职责范围，他想要在各个方面更好的帮助病人，他是我一辈子要感激的人，我的恩人！
在这里也要感谢HSS和其整个医疗团队所做的一切，他们为我提供了非常好的医疗服务，我真的很讨厌医院，对于我来说，医院就是浓浓的消毒水味和白色的天花板，但是HSS让我改变了对医院的看法，他们像家人一样爱护着我，这让我很安心。
现在我终于可以正常的走路了，再也没有疼痛和不适，从出生后第一次正常的行走，这种感觉真的很奇妙，好似获得了重生，很难用言语来表达这种感受，新的生活在等着我，未来加油！
