Great experience, but (1) I don't understand the consequences of his EMG findings, and (2) in a STUPID ABSURDITY, the staff person at the checkout desk says I can't have a copy of his report until DURING my meeting to discuss carpal tunnel surgery!!! Which means that I have to read it and research all its medical terms and findings WHILE I AM IN a meeting to discuss possible surgery ON THE INSIDE OF MY WRIST, WITH ALL OF ITS ESSENTIAL NERVES AND BLOOD VESSELS. What a waste of meeting time and expense!!!
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF I CAN GET A COPY OF THE REPORT BEFORE THEN.
