			<description><![CDATA[ With any kind of advertising, the facts have to be right, and the info can not be misleading  - by omission or due to false claims.
<br>
When I read things like: during the surgery the surgeon &#39;clips the nerve to the hand that causes the sweating&#39;, I am constantly infuriated by what this
implies and what it leaves out. I know the false image it paints and none of the doctors is keen to correct the informaition, they just copy it from each other
in the hope that the repeated lie will... ]]></description>

received payoffs from various surgeons &quot;under the table&quot;.  This lawsuit is different in that it is now officially &quot;on the books&quot; and goes
on Fischel&#39;s record.

This victory did not come easy.  The lawsuit was stretched out over many years and the person was put into debt covering the expenses involved.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Although my entire case against Dr. Fischel is complex, understanding how my attorney, Steve Glickman committed fraud and perjury is quite simple. Glickman

			<description><![CDATA[ Attorney Lanny Vickery has won an important battle for John Vaughan in his case against ETS surgeon David Nielson in Texas. The lower court had refused to hear
the case. In her opinion, Justice Rebecca Simmons found that Vaughan was suffering from a number of problems caused by sympathectomy, including a &quot;split
body syndrome&quot;. This is the first use of that term in any court proceeding, as far as I know.

Concluded Justice Simmons:

			<description><![CDATA[ I have no doubt that the surgeons selling the surgery while not informing the patients of the impact it can have, should be taken to court. One of the big
myths that needs to be addressed when preparing for a court case is, that sympathectomy IS NOT LIKE any other surgery (that might carry certain risks, like
bleeding, stroke, heart attack, etc) There are several things that set ETS apart and make it a more dangerous and the likelihood of something going wrong that
much higher.
