Through my work I have access to my NS email. Would it be utterly outrageous of me to send him a link to the Cervitech ADR article? Do patients do those kind of things?
We are not good friends, nor are we enemies. He is a pleasant and patient guy, his nurse is a bit of a challenge. He has told me I'm not a candidate for ADR while Dr. Bertagnoli. has. I'm wondering if it's just that my NS is so far behind on the ADR learning curve.

It is never wrong to try to open the eyes or educate those in the medical profession. If he is a good guy he will even thank you for it.
Go for it! Kim

If he takes serious offense, would you want this guy in post-op care?
