we don't have what's happening then in the long term. And yes, Sean shows us about this one child who comes up and is able to flex it. But there are also cases in social media who are talking about the fact that they're on gabapentin. And when is this terrible nerve pain going to disappear?
I say cryoablation is not ready for prime time, uh, and just because you can't do it doesn't really justify us. I'm arguing for a trial, randomized controlled trial, as well as a registry so that we can track right Doctor Red results.
