Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Do you mean that Woodard is one of the neurosurgeons who could handle a scoliosis revision? Re: [ ] nerve compression The first time that I saw Rand was in December 2004, after Woodard had been there for only a few months. I mentioned the Bob--my friend who used to be Woodard's physician assistant--connection, and he said great things about Woodard. Actually, Bob used to say that I should go to Woodard for my revision because he felt that Woodard walked on water and could do anything. I always viewed it as an orthopedic problem to be handled by orthopedic surgeons. As I recall, Rand made some sort of comment to the effect that Woodard was one of them.

He didn't even bill her. So while I don't know how often they collaborate, I assume they get along. And yes, Woodard will be there because of my spina bifida, or more exactly, the little anomaly that caused my spinal cord to split. It appears that is the only site of tethering, and Rand wants it de-tethered so he doesn't cause any damage stretching when he re-arranges my bones.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Oops, sorry for the confusion. I think that he meant a spine surgeon. I do not think that he meant that he was one to do revisions.

So I will ask, "one of who?" Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: [ ] nerve compression In Bob's eyes, but I have not heard him recommended by anyone. I think that Dr. Hall at Children's said that Woodard did some sort of disk operation a few years ago, and his orthopod colleagues gave him a hard time about going outside their field.In a message dated 6/4/06 4:34:04 PM, sharon.green18@... writes: Do you mean that Woodard is one of the neurosurgeons who could handle a scoliosis revision?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yes, Woodard is part of the Boston Spine Group. Incidentally, Dr. Rand is no longer part of the group, but I think that's just an administrative thing. Clearly, he can still collaborate with Woodard.
