Dennis -

Thanks for the comeback.

From everything I can determine, the miracle results (my words)are coming from Cyberonics' VNS technology. Medtronics may have an implant technology but they aren't even close to being a serious competitor to Cyberonics. HOWEVER, I wouldn't rule out an offer from Medtronics or St.Jude. As you know St. Jude already came close to acquiring Cyberonics -- long before they really knew just how good the VNS therapy would be.

Not saying Medtronics is anything less than a great company. I think you have a solid investment. Cyberonics certainly is a higher risk choice but the rewards could be more than commensurate with the risk, IMO.
