INTERESTING Medical Article November 2008 on ANs

[JulieE]

Thanks for posting, Mary!  It's like a culmination of all the articles and research I did 10 months ago, except in a clearer, more readable form, which should greatly help those considering options.  I, too, recognize much of the lingo, but under RELEVANT ANATOMY the Authors seem to refer to a modern day opera; and an object which has no business being there, which I did not come across in my research:

  Inferior and a bit anterior to the foramen of Luschka is the olive, and just posterior to the olive lie the rootlets...

Oh - on second glance they did not evoke "The Man of La Mancha" and for some reason I keep picturing a college dare involving a martini gone bad...!
But in all seriousness, this is extremely helpful.

Hey Jules,
I agree with you.  It almost sounded like a manual for planting something by the light of the moon, like they used to tell you in the old Farmer's Almanac. Olive?  Rootlet?  Martini recipe, maybe!
