The technique is not hard for any experienced implanting physician. The management is somewhat specialized but not a mystery. Testing and trialing are pretty straightforward. No guarantee anyone is a good candidate without good trial. The primary reason doctors beg off is the incredible insurance hassle. Good luck. Your fatigue comes through in your post.
