doc Spring 2014 • Kentucky cialist for the Spectra system, mention that it is not uncommon for a patient to want to keep the trial implant, such is the relief they experience. Assuming the trial is a success, a permanent version is implanted, with the entire system (save the wireless remote control) placed under the skin. Regular checks allow Statom and Dr. Rasheed to make any minor adjustments to the settings that may be needed, but the patient now has control of their pain at the touch of a button and, since the control looks like a mobile phone, no one else needs to even know that they are adjusting their pain relief settings. With a current programmed service of 12 years (and a simple replacement process when the time comes) implant patients can look forward to a marked improvement, perhaps being able to noticeably reduce their need for oral pain medication or even being able to return to work… and that makes for one happy follow-up photo. 21 Don’t let divorce destroy your financial future.
