There is another CTAF meeting today in Los Angeles. ADR is not on the agenda, but PLLD is. (Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression)

I was not planning on going, but I can't resist. I'm interested to see if the anti-spine surgery bent I witnessed when ADR was the topic applies to MISS procedures as well.

I'll report back tonight.

In case anyone is interested and hasn't already seen it, here is the assessment from the ProDisc session last year. (From the ctaf.org website)
