Default who said what ..

Allan,
Let's see, *hybrid surgery* offered by my current OS in Long Beach
Dr.Bae at Dr.D's office
Dr.D
Dr.Regan
Neurosurgeon in La Jolla whose name I cannot recall
Ortho in San Diego whose name I can't recall at the moment either

Actually Dr.Regan seemed to think I could go either way with the ADR at L5S1 or fusion. He seemed to give it some serious thought while reviewing the films with Mark which I sincerely appreciated given I was a squeezed in cash pay patient.

Dr.D. said something about the change in my facets at L5S1 from my films in '03 to '06 and therefore he thought the fusion at L5S1 was the way to go. I recall Mark asking him if the insurance would pay for ADR at that level would he do ADR there as well and he stuck to fusion at that level. At least I believe I'm correct in what I'm paraphrasing here. Probably Mark's memory may recall what he said more clearly~
