But the reason he did was because seventeen years ago he got a call from man telling him his daughter had a brain tumor. That man was my father.  Dr. Friedman helped my dad through the whole thing.  He could call my dad on the plane or at one in the morning.  And my dad would call him for everything regarding my sister’s tumor and treatment.
