He spoke from an expert?s viewpoint because he had had Berkeley?s procedure done eight years before and was a strong advocate of the process. He also reminded me about the ?hero?s discount? for teachers?another good reason for both of us having it done. So on Tuesday I called for an appointment and was scheduled two days later for the consultation and then the next day, Friday, for the procedure.
