The UW (Re: Sam's back injury update!)

[Guest guest]

They got the referral on Friday Oct 26, looked over my imaging, and

I now have an appointment on Nov 30, 2010 at the UW Med Center (bone, joint,

spine, et al) with Dr Lee. Here is his UW profile:

The UW med center is 108 miles south of me, so I hope the drive is worth it.

Geez louise, 17 months to get this far...
