Doc’s surgery a success

Event Details

Doc Watson’s surgery last night has been described as successful, and we are told that Watson came through it well.

Sources tell us that his entire colon was removed, and that Doc is resting as comfortably as can be expected after major surgery.

One close friend of the Watson family said that Doc had been largely unresponsive even prior to the surgery. No reports yet of his status post-surgery, other than being listed as critical by the hospital last night.
