    Seemed a little distracted and unprepared. I trust Dr. Morrow¿ expertise and knoowledge. I u deratand she is very busy,, but at our last pre surgical appt.she had t read her previous notes on our last appt and the test results from my last EDG. A little concerning¿. The MA had to help remind her of my scheduled surgery date. I'm sure (I pray) she will be completely prepared on my particular issues before surgery .
