Yes yes sounds like a good decision. Also there were a few complaints about dr. Pearl's aftercare and he is not as experienced as dr. Donohue. Keep us posted. Xo jkl

That being said, he is top orthopedic doc. He operates on many celebrities and athletes, and of course he is doesn't take insurance. If I ever needed an orthopedic surgery, and i was in new york, and i had tons of cash, I'd go to him. ha. I'm not sure he knows about TOS, otherwise he probably would have mentioned it when I flew to see him back in December. |

Re: Donahue - awesome news!
I have feeling Sanders and Annest are going to conveniently omit you as a failure when they publish their next study touting scalenectomies without rib removal. Such a shame! You may want to contact your insurance and a lawyer regarding malpractice. I would!

I refused to participate in their study when they asked before surgery.. I should have taken that as a sign then and there that they were more concerned with that than my surgery....

Jkl, I appreciate your support and your concern very much!!! Don't worry though, I am planning to get it out before surgery and I will be paying a mover to do everything and to drive it to Toronto...flying to Boston just to see Dr Donahue for the consult and CT scan and then most likely flying to NY then home prior to surgery. No one in my family is available to go to Boston with me until end of June so surgery has to happen then or in July after Dr. Donahue gets back.

I also believe that "documentation of their studies" are not always "accurate" as I found with my case and also found that getting a "honest second opinion" is pretty much impossible.....will be very interested in your results of any helpful information and solution when you see the new doctor. chloecasey |
