Post-op recovery: the questions patients won't ask out loud
Thesis

Prospective patients research recovery timelines and complication signals at the exact moment local practices stay silent on camera. A calm, surgeon-led explainer owns that intent and turns 2am anxiety into booked consults.

Why it works

Search demand is climbing, the three top-ranking results are text-only, and no competitor within 50 miles has covered it on video. The first credible video takes the position and holds it.
