Dr. Donald Sonn has practiced medicine for nearly 20 years and over that time he has seen many advances in surgeries. These new techniques are making surgeries less risky and invasive while reducing the recovery time so patients can get back to their lives sooner. Additionally, these new techniques help to reduce the risk of scarring and other unwanted side effects that are common in more invasive treatment options.
One such technique is a treatment called Greenlight Laser Therapy. Donald Sonn was one of the first doctors in the New England area to perform surgeries using the Greenlight Therapy and he says it can greatly reduce the recovery time for men suffering from certain prostate issues. This therapy is mostly used to treat a condition known as benign prostate hyperplasia or BHP.
Benign prostate hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. This condition affects more than 50% of men over the age of 60. The symptoms of BHP can include frequent and painful urination, weak urine flow and starting or stopping during urination. Until the invention of Greenlight LaserTherapy, BHP was only treatable by the use of medication or invasive surgery techniques such as transurethral resection of the prostate. However, thanks to Greenlight Laser Therapy, BHP can now be treated using a fairly simple outpatient procedure that lets patients get back to their lives with minimal risk.
Greenlight Laser Therapy is just one example of the way medical advances are changing the way doctors conduct surgeries. Doctors and researchers are continuing to find new ways to advance the field of medicine and combat disease.

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING...

RESILIENCE
Daniella Harris, a gifted prodigy who graduated high school at just sixteen, rose to prominence as a successful surgeon. On the night of her graduation, she joined what was supposed to be a celebratory farewell party with friends she trusted. But the night took a dark turn-she was drugged and awoke to find herself robbed of her innocence by a stranger. The events that followed tested the very core of her mental resilience, reshaped her decisions, and forged the determination that would ultimately define her. Despite the trauma, Daniella chose to take ownership of her life. She persevered-and she triumphed. Matteo Giordano, now the feared and respected in the Italian Mafia, had his own fateful encounter years ago. At seventeen, he was grabbed a drink meant for someone else and lost his free will. He woke the next morning with a beautiful girl beside him-her face etched with pain, regret, and a haunting purity. Though she fled without a word, the impression she left endured. Matteo noticed what others might have missed: the telltale stain that marked her first time. Though he searched for her, she had vanished -leaving only a memory that tormented him. Now, years later, their paths cross once more-not by intention, but perhaps... by fate.Complete
