This post has nothing to do with med school, but I have a good friend that has traveled to University of MN Medical Center for a pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and appendectomy with auto islet cell transplant tomorrow morning, and we would appreciate any prayers you have sent her way!
She has been suffering with chronic pancreatitis for 12.5 years. Dr. Sutherland at University of MN does this procedure, which is among the only in the country proven to provide relief for patients like her. The surgery is scheduled to begin at 7:40 am and will last between 9 and 16 hours. Please remember Lacey & her family (including her husband, Jeremy, and their 10 month old daughter Elyse) in your prayers.
Her testimony can be viewed here:

It's an amazing story, and she's an amazing person. May the Lord be with them tomorrow, and promise her many, many pain-free days to fulfill His purposes!
