I like what somebody once said: Neurologists know a lot but can't do
much. Neurosurgeons don't know as much but they can do a lot. I found
that to be true. If I had it to do over again I would not have undergone
surgery even though three neurosurgeouns agreed it was a must before any
treatment for any of the suspected problems could be given. At the time
the risks of surgery and non-surgery were already equal. Even knowing
that I don't think I would have submitted. Not to say that I don't have
confidence in the doctors; just that I have to place more confidence in
my own instincts. Say no to surgery might be a good slogan, except as a
last resort, if then. I haven't overloaded you on this, have I?
Regards,
  Harry
