not sure what that proves with regards to ART as this was simply a misdiagnosis. he wouldn't have had any surgery done anyways as his GP would have him see a plastic surgeon for a consultation. furthermore, surgery is not performed for carpal tunnel unless there are documented nerve conduction studies or neurological deficit on physical examination. going to ART simply got him a proper diagnosis quicker (which is obviously a good outcome).
