I don’t know all the Doctors in “the group” or the list of the 19 things they are looking for but this post might give you some confidence from someone who just had the surgery with Dr Nakaji. Hepworth is in “the group”.
U2 has a song called Beautiful Day. I play it when having a tough time to remind me to appreciate small things.
You picked a good Doctor. It’s all in his hands now. Good Luck.
