: A friend from the Netherlands contacted me today to see if I could obtain some details on the operation performed on Nwankwo Kanu, a soccor player. The operation was performed in November 1997 and was apparently quite successful. Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

Dear Mr Luce
As you know from all the press coverage Mr Kanu had his surgery here at The Cleveland Clinic but I am not at liberty to give out more details than were available in the lay press as I would be infringing on Mr Kanu’s rights and the understandable confidential relationship between doctors and their patients. Your friend could try and contact Mr Kanu at the Milan soccer club, for the information he needs.
