Surgeons I have spoken to tend to speak in a Statistical fashion, which is OK, but I have spoken live with 4 people who had them and all 4, one committed suicide, have had dismal results. I have it in my arm and, based on the information I have I'm not too excited about this option. ##Bill Elwood## -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!104!52.0!Bill.Elwood Internet: Bill.Elwood@p0.f52.n104.z1.fidonet.org
