Obvoiusly you are very angry either with Dr Cooperberg or False Creek for services we are providing.

Actual bilmiek you are the one out of line I am returning from the Hamilton meeting were it was widely acknowledged that Ccsvi needs further studying. Transcranial dopler was hardly mentioned and is not a requirement . In fact. The most definitive test is venograghy. MRV needs further fine tuning as...

well thats good to know.
don't really understand how it works but thought the 3T was more sensitive?

A shame really
