@DukeSpine,we have assembled a group of research scientists, surgeons and non-surgeons to see if we can use machine-learning to streamline the process and to hopefully take better care of these complicated patients.

2 years ago, I texted @TedSchwartz13 that I needed advice. Within 15 mins we were on the phone and he talked me through my options, giving me the confidence to take my next steps.
Regardless of your background, similar advice and interesting stories are within. Give it a read!!!
