For this seminar I have brought together three specialists: An Internist, an Anesthesia/Pain management specialist and a surgeon who will provide a clinical discussion of how they handle a variety of clinical problems.

The three specialists will present an interactive discussion on how they make decisions on what tests to perform, how to interpret the tests, how to manage the case(initially and long term), when to operate(or not)and what not to do!
