Way Off Subject- Doctor Search

["Randall Kurzon" <rkurzon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know this is way off subject and I apologize. A friend sent me an e-mail
asking if I could find out how to search via the Internet for the most
qualified surgeon in the U.S. to perform a specific type of surgery.

Part of what she stated:
"Charles needs to have an operation that is very risky and I would like to
know who is the best qualified surgeon or hospital in the country.  If he
does not have this operation, his aneurysm will burst and that is it. The
problem is he has a large thoracic aneurysm in the aorta in the upper chest.
Most aneurysms are in the abdomen.  Most people do not live through a
thoracic aneurysm  only 2%, and surgical repair is risky as well as many
complications can occur. We want to find the best available doctor to
perform this operation."

Any suggestions as to how to begin this search will be appreciated.

Regards, Randall
