Doctors
Urologists
--Dr. Peter Chan (McGill), March 31, 2008: intends to do aspiration near the head of the testes rather than in the vas, 99.9% plus positive that we can use hubby's sperm with no trouble at all. Hubby's testosterone is a little low but won't affect the sperm.
--Dr. Stuart Oake (Riverside), November 2006: reiterated that a second attempt at reversal would likely not work because vas is too short and can feel some scar tissue
--Dr. Collins (Ottawa), October 23, 2003: performed vasectomy reversal. Failed.

OB/Gyns
--Dr. Doug Black (Appletree Medical on Bank), Fall 2005-Spring 2006: agreed to remove cyst via laporoscopy, cyst removed April 2006.
--Dr. Beshara, Fall 2005: refused to do laparoscopy to remove ovarian cyst (right side 5x5 cm)
