Is this propaganda for socialized medicine? Just asking because our news tends to report on newer procedures that are either less invasive or offer better outcomes.

Glad he's getting back to it.

A very difficult decision.

Fusion, attempt some cartiledge growth drill holes.., rehab, ankle replacement, stem cells!??

Hurry up stem cell technology, I'll basically need a full body flush with them.
