Hi @sumimasn, welcome Connect.
I did a quick search for surgeons in Toronto and found this 2009 paper by 2 doctors at Toronto General Hospital, UHN
Acquired Paralysis of the Diaphragm https://www.thoracic.theclinics.com/article/S1547-4127(09)00070-X/abstract

TGH might be a good place to start. How did your diaphragm become paralyzed?
