Sorry....just reread my post. Meant to say that we do most cases in this AREA of
the state. THe Mayo Clinic does them also. Most of the private hospitals do not 
want to deal with possible CJD and send them either to us or the Mayo Clinic. If
we are lucky, they get sent to the surrveilance center in Cleveland.
