Important discussion; good job Biff.
I can understand a doctor being nervous taking on an ADR pt. from abroad w/the new vertebroplasty cement not authorized for spinal use in the US either. Wonder if a good spinal doc could have a pt. sign a binding waiver since spinal surgeons have high malpractice costs.
