    Topic: RE: Surgeons out West

    I did some research myself and found that for dr tang and amson the critria is more intense than before.... you have to have pulmanryfunction tests ,sleep tests,dietians,blood work, ekg,speromitry tests chest xrays and a head shrink before they consider even takeing patients on... as for the wait list its longer than they say ,as of march/2008 vitoria clinics are trying to get more finacial resourses so it's to their best interest to have more ppl on the list...and with all these ppl waiting,the clinic PROMISES a short time so more can join....politics politics.....sigh I found the east do seem to deliver what they preach..... take care
