if it were me I'd want to know how much they know about the surgery and its efficacy

You see the bit called "Programmer"? That's even scarier than the bit called "Generator".

Somehow I am both desperate and not ready for that. And, considering I'm holding a shiny leaflet with a CD-ROM of information, I suspect I can't afford it either...but how much debt should one go into in order to stop your life being ruined?

As for "another think", some of those people--I had to check it wasn't me posting in my sleep. THEY ARE SO RIGHT.
