We thank the Oakland University William Beaumont Medical library staff, especially associate professor of Information Literacy in the Department of Foundational Medical Studies and eLearning Librarian Stephanie Swanberg. We hope that this will serve surgeons to better counsel patient in regard to patient satisfaction after LD flap breast reconstruction.
