If you fail the first trigger finger injection, there is no benefit to 2 more, get out the scalpel!

The radiators were replaced at the Springfield MO Porsche dealer early in January of 2015.

Apparently the bolts were left loose then or worked loose since then.

The missing hardware went missing then too. I was reluctant to have the car done at this dealer since it is a small dealer and doesn't see that many Turbos, but I had no choice. The nearest dealer in KC MO was over 150 miles away (and in my experience is booked solid and I could have faced a long delay in getting the car fixed) and the one in Wichita KS was that far or farther away and that would have been some tow bill. The Wichita dealer fixed my Boxster's radiator when I busted it hitting some road debris. The dealer did a nice job and there has been no issues from the repair and that was around 10 years ago.

Well at least its right now and it didn't cost you.

The doctor was pretty insistent on giving the injections a try before surgery.

This time though I might argue with what we went through with the right thumb if the 1st injection doesn't cure the problem with the left thumb we should move right to surgery vs. doing two more series of shots.

However, it might have been the insurance company pushing for shots vs. surgery since surgery is pretty expensive. It is done as an out patient operation with just some local at the thumb but it is done in a surgery center not in the doctor's office. The nearest surgery center is not in "network" but it agreed before hand to accept my insurance company's payment for the use of its facilities.
