Neurosurgeons and Neurotologists
« on: March 26, 2013, 03:59:26 pm »
I'm curious if anyone has noted a distinction between treatment preferences/recommendations from neurosurgeons as opposed to neurotologists?

As always, your insights are appreciated!
Oct 2012:  Constant Pulsatile Tinnitus
Feb 28, 2013: Dx AN 1.4 cm X .9 mm
April 19, 2013:  GK at UPMC w/Dr. Lunsford

Some things in my life need to matter less, and other things in my life need to matter more.  So yes, I'm taking this as a "lesson learned experience."

My AN surgery - like most others' AN surgeries - was done by a team of doctors.  In my case, it was a neurosurgeon and a neurotologist; just the way it seems to be here in Illinois.  There are others on the Forum who had a team, but their docs didn't necessarily have the same credentialing as mine.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
