So it seems I’ve fallen behind the medical curve. This article was just posted on MSNBC:
“No one yet knows if balloon sinuplasty works as well as a surgical fix. Only about 100 doctors around the country are trained to offer it, and research is just beginning to track its effectiveness and determine who is a good candidate.”
Well crap! So instead of all the pain, and suffering, and BLOOD I could have paid a doctor to shove a balloon up my nose and inflate? Seriously? What a cluster of a short stick! Damn. Guess I’ll have to renew that subscription to Medical Quarterly to keep up on my PHD’ness.
