My board scores weren't stellar but I do think with excellent recommendation letters you still have a shot doing neurosugery here in US. Good Luck! 0 - ArchivalUser - 03-23-2005 thanks kixs 0 - ArchivalUser - 03-23-2005 Does anybody know of any good and safe areas around Mercy hospital Pitts where I could possibly buy a condo or house?
