ABSTRACT

I hereby authorize and/or associates to extract or interrupt diseased veins for the purpose of attempting to improve the sympto-

matology and/or appearance of my legs.

B) ALTERNATIVES

I understand that alternative treatments for varicose veins exist, includ-

ing conservative treatments (elastic stockings), sclerotherapy (injection of scler-

osing agents into diseased veins), stripping, and vein ligation.
