The day after Will's arrival in Utah, he visited the head of the University of Utah Physical Medecine and Rehabilitation Center, Dr. Steven Edgley. We learned just before meeting Dr. Edgley that he had suffered a stroke during his ophthamology residency. The stroke rendered him unable to perform surgery, so he switched to Rehabilitation.
Dr. Edgley seemed very thorough in his prior study of Will's case file and in the questions he asked during the assessment. He asked Will if he wanted to return to his residency. Will vigorously nodded in the affirmative. At the end of the assessment he told Will that based on his good health prior to his stroke, his young age, the considerable progress in recovery he had made in just five weeks, and the fact that it was still early in Will's recovery period, he thought Will's prospects for being able to return to his residency were good.
