We have just learned that our team doctor, Francisco "Kiko" Espi-Escriva (ESP), was recently featured in an article in the Spanish national newspaper El Mundo, as well as on several television news shows.

Kiko is a young orthopaedic surgeon of growing repute here in Spain. He recently introduced a new, non-invasive surgical technique for feet which has proven very successful and helpful to many.

According to the El Mundo article, with the new technique the cut is so small that most of the time there is no need for a suture. In addition, with the traditional technique the patient had to be off the foot for a month, and with this new technique the patient enters and leave the operating room walking. In the General Hospital here in Valencia, Dr Kiko and his colleagues have already made more than one hundred interventions and none has required a second surgery, nor have there been any complications.

Kiko brushsed off all the publicity with a modest, "Just doing my job."

Nice ink for a cool, competent guy who is universally popular within the team for his ability not only to treat, or get fast treatment for, team members and our families whether an emergency or minor malady, but also for his friendly, spirited support of our mission in general.
