I believe we're all in agreement on that point. Sometimes opinions vary between neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons; it couldn't hurt to have opinions from both sides of that. Some here have said neurosurgeons are the better choice/option. If all are in agreement there, we can all only hope for the best.

It's not difficult to understand the strong pro/con feelings on these issues. The pros wish their successes for everyone; the cons wouldn't wish their predicaments on their worst enemies, and only want to prevent someone from suffering similar plight.

Informed decision, made... hopefully, NOT out of pain, fear, and/or desperation. We're all here for each other no matter what.
