David S. Goldstein M.D., Ph.D., Senior Investigator:
"(Corposcindosis) does present nicely several of the many adverse health effects of thoracic sympathectomy, at least some of which, for a variety of reasons, have been underemphasized. It does seem worthwhile to highlight these health effects, so that individuals considering undergoing the procedure are informed better about the potential consequences."
Dr. Goldstein graduated from Yale College and received an M.D.-Ph.D. in Behavioral Sciences from Johns Hopkins for work on instrumental cardiovascular conditioning. After medical internship and residency at the University of Washington, he became a Clinical Associate in the NHLBI, obtaining tenure as a Senior Investigator in 1984. He joined the NINDS in 1990 to head the Clinical Neurochemistry Section and founded and directs the Clinical Neurocardiology Section, an independent Section. He has received the Angier Prize for Research in Psychology from Yale, the Laufberger Medal of the Czech Academy of Sciences, 2 NIH Merit Awards, and the 2004 NIH Distinguished Clinical Teacher Award.

Dr. Loftus presents this paragraph about ETS surgery, which contains a link to the Corposcindosis Treatise.
Patients who want to learn more about hyperhidrosis surgeries can visit many web pages. There are, however, a group of patients who are convinced there is long term harm with these procedures. I do not do surgery myself, I wish only that potential patients hear all sides of the story. Therefore, patients considering surgery are encouraged to read this web site.
