Twitter can be a bit of a joke to some people, but when it comes to situations where family and loved ones are waiting to hear about how one of their own is doing before, during, and after a surgical procedure has been performed. With the technology and Twitter, someone involved with the proceedings can chime in and post updates up-to-the-minute. It's especially essential to those who are unable to be there for their loved one's hospital stay.
