Its not what I said. You know that.

Get to the bottom of all options, all ADRs, all fusion options etc.

The fact that the FDA approved ProDisc has damaged a lot of folks here is not speculation. I do not like that device, but if others want to investigate it they have every right just as the M6. I am not making up what a well respected as well as ethically inclined, world renown super neurosurgeon(super because he trains other neuros) told me sitting across a table from him. He has far more access to real stats than anyone else short of SK themselves. Indeed, they harvest a lot of feedback from Dr C's work re the M6 in the field both during implantation and years of postop followups.

insecurity is always to be expected. I should know. I have two M6Ls.
