| Gunisha Singh is a 46 year old Indian female with no significant past medical history who presents for evaluation of a newly diagnosed right-sided pleural malignant mesothelioma. Mrs. Singh was in her usual excellent state of health until approximately January 1996 when she noticed the onset of right neck, arm, and shoulder discomfort gradually increasing in intensity. This was often accompanied by a burning sensation in the distal arm and fingers on the right side. At that time she was living in Hong Kong and was evaluated by a neurosurgeon who felt that her symptoms were consistent with two herniated cervical discs. The patient then came to the U.S. for evaluation by a neurosurgeon at the University of California in San Francisco who felt that she had cervical spondylosis with herniated discs without evidence of frank neurological impairment. At this time, her primary intervention was manipulation of pain to control her symptoms. &nbs. |
