Through the years Joyce and I have been extremely fortunate to have collaborated with some truly compassionate, caring KOL’s (Knowledgeable Opinion Leaders) both in the field of Psychiatry as well as other related practices. During that time I have shared what I’ve learned both on and off the record and where I’ve been allowed I’ve also publicly shared correspondence and/or quotes.
I’ve recently been corresponding with and received a reply (see below) from another distinguished medical professional in response to my recent posting “Expediting the VNS replacement surgery for the depression patient” that I would like to share.
I do so in the hope that other professionals reading my messages and advocacy share with their respective colleagues and that Cyberonics management understands and conveys this important message throughout their organization to help the depression patients who continue utilizing their device and therapy and they too quickly get the message cited above into the hands of all the physicians and depression patients they attend to.
Sincerely,
Herb
