Surgery happened.... pt. got ADR.

I'll leave it up to them to patient and his family to write details.

This is an incredibly frustrating process. Many of us experienced it first hand in the early years of ADR in the US. Who would have thought that more than 2 years after Charite' approval and with ProDisc approved for more than 6 months, that we'd still be in this situation.

I did get to speak at the tech assessment forum yesterday and got to spend some time with Dr. Delamarter. I'll write more later.
