I'll edit this as I learn more!

Family member is in their 60's. One of their parents had their cerebral aneurysm burst when they were in their 70's.

Anyone here been operated on at Mayo for an aneurysm? Can you reveal the name of the neurologist and the neurosurgeon? Thanks!

Okay, disregard mentioning the name of the neurologist or the neurosurgeon. Thanks.

If you had surgery of any kind for your cerebral aneurysm, did the aneurysm ever burst? Did Mayo make it "difficult" for you to get tests first? If so, did it later turn out that any of the tests they made difficult for you to get, were essential and getting the tests probably saved your life? Or, did it later turn out that tests they tried to keep you from taking would have been a waste of everyone's time and money?
