I was light on details because it was late.
My point was that funcrew had similar thinking of physician and disc. Did more assessment and completely changed his plan. That thread is a good place to get grounded, and from there research the ESP and other physicians who use it.
Funcrew chose Dr. Desai, as have I (for surgery next month). There are other very competent surgeons as well.
