I am always impressed by the amount of research you probably do for most of your books/stories. Like I had to look up the type of surgery she was performing, because I had never heard of it. You could have made it something simple and just said it had cancer, a tumor that needed to be removed, or something like that but instead you did something that took much more effort on your part and also made it more believable/interesting. And with other characters jobs/careers, you are really good at giving details and descriptions that show you didn't just totally make it up or take the easy way out.
