Fuzzy, that is exactly why I am submitting this complaint. I didn't sign anything, but I was under the assumption that we were going to do the levels that were bad on the MRI. I requested my doctor order a discogram in the thoracic region. The doctor doing the discogram can change the areas as he sees fit, but I believe the patient needs to be informed. Not only was I not informed, but he refused to listen to anything I had to say.
