Any members here that have had a transplant that are either a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic? If so how were your results and your healing?

My main concern is that the techs are not overworked with their respected duties and fatigue could become a factor.Having extra techs could only seem to benefit the procedure ie. keeping them rotated and fresh. After reading through Dr. Bernsteins extensive web site{a great read} tech fatigue,reducing the amount of time the grafts are out of the body, and the handling of grafts puts alot of the procedure in their hands.

How many techs do you feel is necessary to perform a moderate sized strip surgery between 2500-3500 hundred grafts? Two of the docs I consulted said that they can perform this amount in one day but only have a total of 4 techs. When I review docs like Feller or Rahal who can perform this number of grafts and schedule this as the only surgery of the day they use a higher number of techs.
