Mark,

The 30 days is a gimmick, cause they KNOW your in-box is 45 days long, but Drose is worth it anyway... A few years back I did a 14 week TVS, and an 18 week TAS trying to screen for corpus callosal agenesis in a fetus at high risk - four affected first & second degree faminly members. This is sort of like looking for an eclipse when the moon's not up yet! He later developed it, so I got to find out WHEN you can & when you can't see what aint there in AGENESIS (& it ain't until it ain't there)!

Tex? Aren't those what you get walking through a grassy field with shorts on?
