Jim Daniel Home; Awaits
Result of Boston Surgery
Jim Daniel is home.
The 30-year-old blind Summerville father still doesn’t
know whether the surgery he underwent in Boston, Mass, was
successful, but he's hopeful. It may be six months before he
knows.
In the meantime, Jim will go to Atlanta next week for a
check-up and treatment by his physician there. And in Sep
tember, lie will return to the Massachussetts Eye and Ear
Infirmary in Boston for a check-up. He may or may not
eventually need futher surgery, depending on how successful
the recent surgery was. * ,
Jim and his wife flew home Wednesday. July 22, and were
met in Chattanooga by relatives, including their 21-month
old son, David.
People at the hospital in Boston were amazed at the cards
and letters sent Jim by friends in Summerville, he said. He
received more than all the other patients in his section com
bined.
“When the fellow brought in a big group of letters and
cards one day, he told me I must have a terrific fan club.”
said Jim. “But I told him no, it was just the fine people in
Summerville and Chattooga County. They were dumb
founded at the way the town responded. I am truly grateful.”
The young father, a devout member of the Summerville
Presbyterian Church, said he feels he had the best medical
care possible, noting that the hospital is ah international
center that has doctors of many nationalities on its staff and
serves people from all over the world.
In addition, he says, his surgeon is a devout Christian.
“I heard him tell a woman that when he awakes every
morning the first thing he does is pray for God to guide his
hands as he operates.”
Jim had been blind in one eye since childhood when he
lost his sight in a BB gun accident. The retina in his other
eye became detached when he was 16 and a few months ago
he lost all sight in that eye. It is this eye on which the doc
tors operated.
His case is so unusual that it is being written for the
American Medical Assn. Journal.
