Re: Ren Cop Out/Chris

[Guest guest]

Hi

I would be concerned about that too, and that's why research and doing

your own homework is so important. Any surgeon who cannot/will not

provide accurate, specific information, about options would be a

surgeon without my business.. I would not be able to trust such a

person in any way. People cant blindly abide by what one person says

when it comes to such things.. a shame, really.. but nonetheless

vital. )
