I found the same guy and found a bio on him. He may have done the study in his residency (not sure what that is called in uk???) but not quite a doctor yet. still studying.....
check out his study link.

He could help you get to the other surgeons on the list.
also in this link

in the references check out who he referenced and do research on them.
It is all a long tedious task but I am willing to help you.
I believe he is in this picture in this link

he likely did a rotation with a vascular guy and found tos interesting or wanted to get something published.
My boyfriend is a doctor and has agreed that the above is possible.
So a place to start anyhow.....see what you want and need and we can go from there.

a thousand thank you's Vic!. Yep im back into battle today - i just get so determined with it that i take set backs quite hard.
Earlier on today i was calling around trying to locate this mysterious Dr Maxwell Armstrong and i spoke to a hospital in north london and a very nice secretary (which is rare!) who said she had not heard of dr maxwell armstrong but did a search on a website called drfoster.co.uk and said that he does rectal work?!. However the dr she works under is vascular so i sent an email with my history and this is what she came back with....
Dear Tracey,
Professor Hamilton has read your email. He says he would be happy to see you here if your GP will refer you. TOS is something he sees quite a lot of.
I asked him whether he had heard of Mr Maxwell-Armstrong but he has not so it is doubtful whether he is a vascular surgeon, but I cannot think why a colorectal surgeon would be writing articles about TOS.
Kind regards,
Sarah
not sure if this it is worth me visiting this guy or not? what do you think? is there anythink else i should ask her before even bothering with trying to get a referral to this guy?
i have googled a couple of those drs mentioned in the refs and the first couple only mention the US but did see one in nottingham (i live in london but travelling i think will be a necessity to get to see someone with an idea about TOS!)
Thanks again for all your help and you are sooooo kind to offer to help me, its greatly appreciated!
