What a snooty bunch of snivelling quimbies. Some doctors just act like three year olds and I suppose as long as others are willing to grovel at their feet, they can get away with it.
I have never heard of all this psychological testing just to have a very necessary back surgery. It would seem to me that they're looking to skew the results of their successes by hand picking their patients instead of simply doing the best job possible. I guess that's one way to build a reputation!
Doesn't matter - their refusal to see you is unfortunate and I'm sorry. I'm sure Dr. R will do a fantastic job for you. Perhaps your aunt will treat you like a little puppy and you won't want to return home
I know you're angry but shake it off and just get on with whatever comes next. Easier said than done perhaps but screw it, TBI isn't worth your aggravation anymore.
Please keep us posted - hey - why don't you sell your story to the soaps
only don't change the names to protect the innocent. Good luck Steve,
