USC medical center, here I come...(maybe)

[scaeagles]

Well, I won't be going to USC medical center. The insurance has said they've found a local surgeon who has done the procedure, and while he is not contracted with them, he does his surgery out of a contracted hospital, unlike my option with the Mayo. So I will be meeting with him on the 23rd.

Should he prove to be qualified (which to me means he's done several of these operations), that will be just fine. If he isn't, the good news is that the insurance isn't going to make me travel out of state for it, so I should be able to go to the Mayo, as this other guy was the only person they could find that they said was qualified.
