Anthony, thanks for posting.
These types of discussions are interesting. It reminds me of the statistic that 70% of the people who are treated for mental illness recover AND 70% of the people who are not treated for mental illness recover. The numbers suggest that treating mental illness is pointless. I see similar studies with spine. In my mind, they drive home the point that if you need spine surgery, you are in trouble. However, none of the numbers speak to individual cases.
If you don't mind, I'll move this post from the surgical outcomes and blogs forum and give it a more descriptive title.
Thanks again for participating... all the best,
Mark
