Default DiMarie, Beth, Dawn, Jo55, et all

You~all are so much wiser and intellectual than I at this game with 7 years of TOS battle post surgery from 2003.

I am inking closer to getting the post surgical vascular surgeon consult through CA W/C since Collins report still shows a Subclavian Artery & Vein compression.

W/C wants me to go to Ahn.
I want to go to Denver.
I'll have the consult by Ahn but not surgery.

Can you guys help my poor ole chemo brain with 10 questions to ask on the consults weather it be Ahn, Annest, Filler, Bratigan or...??

This is what my brilliant TOS buddy deducted so far:
1. Filler and some of the studies say scalenectomies (?)/neuroplasties
but no rib removal
2. Annest says rib removal and no scalenectomies, he makes a "concerted effort not to resect the scalene muscles because I have found that with muscle resection there is an increased incidence of recurrent scar formation".
3. Ahn says rib removal and scalenectomies

"what's a girl to do"?
