May 19, I visited the local neurosurgeon and he was unimpressed with the CT scan images and made statements that the radiologist had made a diagnosis as to the presence of a aneurysm from a questionable image. The neurosurgeon said he didn't see the aneurysm in the image and would have called it a location that requires more imaging. He mentioned that even if it were an aneurysm he would recommend not doing anything and monitor it yearly. We pressed him for further information and who he refers surgical aneurysm cases to, he said Dr. Hoh at Shands in Gainesville. He had no idea that we already had a second opinion scheduled with Dr. Hoh in three days. He wrote us a prescription for further imaging and we left confused but hopeful that maybe there was not an aneurysm after all and the radiologist report as to the location and size of aneurysm was possibly wrong.
