it ain't "simple," you sure you want to choose your surgeon/hospital based on price? try steroids for a while, then when obamacare kicks in you
should be able to buy affordable insurance in USA w/o exclusion of pre-existing conditions,... and get procedure done in a good hospital in USA.
if you do oral steroids to knock it down in size, followed by nasal mist steroids, you can keep polyps under control for a while, until you manage to
get insurance.

He said the steroids aren't working Goat, aren't you reading? I'd like to know myself when Obamacare supposedly is going to kick in myself...what was
the exact date? Or is he just using it as leverage so he can get re=elected? He signed it into law a few years back...so what's the hold up?

patient would need general anesthesia. I assisted in many nasal operations in the Military Hospital with the specialist, generally if you have the
right tools and have alot of patience, there is no danger, but blood pressure during extensive nasal surgery needs to be brought extremely low by an
anesthesiologist, and monitored constantly, to keep bleeding to a minimum. I think the best way to go is using steroid spray and see if that works
first. | Quote: | Originally posted by Bob and Susan

the membrane in the nose is really thin and close to the brain
i wouldnt skimp on the doctor
they use something called the "nibbler"
and they need to put a bannana sized sponge in there for several weeks to heal the repair
it's not as easy as it seems |

Are you a Doctor or did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

So how do you know if it is a direct result of Obamacare or a good Social worker getting the patient Medicare or Medicaid?? Mind you, I could care
less who is elected President at this point. | Quote: | Originally posted by BajaBlanca

There I go assuming again. There use to be a series of commercials with a guy in an OR and the nurse asks him a question about the surgery and he
replies, "Oh, I'm not a Dr, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night!"
It sounded more interesting then simply asking if you are a Doctor?
