I really appreciate your response. We are all gong to greatly benefit from the insight and authority that only someone of your education and experience could possibly bring to the table.

Dear Dr Denkler,

Dr Pess has announced that he has gone to Paris, has been trained in NA, and practices in NJ. That means the US now has three Paris trained NA doctors - Dr. Eaton, Dr. Zidel, and Dr. Pess. It also means that the US now has two NA practitioners who are not Paris-trained, yourself and Dr. Bourland. So....we now have two schools of NA and for us patients - this is a problem.

To further this - I figure once Dr. Eaton gives his talk about NA there will be a huge influx of interest by doctors who want to perform the procedure - which means - where do they learn it? Do they train themselves?

I don't know what the answer to this problem is, but from a patients point of view...I would like there to be continuity from doctor to doctor so us patients will feel confident when we ask our family MD's for referals...

Dare I ask - Could you go to Paris? Pretty please?..With sugar on top?

You could make money on it by training doctors on US soil once you come back - that would be a huge step forward for NA and protect us patients. Otherwise - consider the alternative - your competition could train themselves and set up shop next to you. *wink*

Anyways, if this idea doesn't appeal to you - do you have another solution?

Dr. Badois replied to my inquiry Feb. 13. I have not heard back from the ohter doctors yet regarding a vistit, even though I inquired after the response from Dr. Badois.
So for the record, I am still trying!


Here is is response:


Dear Colleague,

thank you so much for your interest in the needle aponeurotomy.

If you wish to come and observe our technique, please send an email to Pr BARDIN,
who is the chief of the Rheumatology Department of Lariboisiere Teaching Hospital.
He will most likely authorize you to observe the procedure.
You could meet Dr LERMUSIAUX who is the originator of the NA procedure on friday mornings.


The treatment is performed at the second floor of the Viggo Petersen Center.
The hospital is adjacent to the "Gare du Nord" Station in Paris:
Hopital Lariboisière
rue Ambroise Paré
75 010 PARIS

Best regards.
Dr F. BADOIS (MD)

Dr. Denkler,

When will you be on TV with Dr. Edell? What stations will carry it?

Dear Dr. Denkler,

There has been lots of talk here about how to approach ones surgeon/md/insurance company/family members...etc about NA. Currently we have no paperwork ... so explaining NA in realtime is probematic. Could your website produce a downloadable pamphlet about DC... the treatment options you provide...your qualifications...location...etc...?

Thanks,

Anon
