ADR seeker, sometimes you make me laugh you are so negative about our doctors. I have to tell you , i have had some bad docs and some bad complications from a world renowned surgeon, but i can't generalize like you do.

By the way , i did have months of chiropractic care before my first cervical surgery. my chiro sent me with my xray to my spine ortho.
My USA trained surgeon did just have me stand in front of him at my last appointment. He did in January do an amazing surgery on me to fix my fractured neck and kyphosis. It feels great and he is being very cautious with me still in a brace. He does care about me and my other health issues. He consults other specialists about my health concerns. I have had 10 surgeries in the last 4 years, a lot of them spine, # 11 on my foot tomorrow. I feel better and can stand better because of them. I have had a lot of great doctors. a few of them were foreign born, but choose to live and work in this wonderful country of ours.
I have not been butchered, just helped. the bad docs i did away with and had to report some. but they are all just people and some are in it for the wrong reasons.

Please tell us your story so we can understand where you are coming from. I really want to hear it, maybe we can even help you in some way. I will be laid up with foot surgery after tomorrow and have all the time in the world for you. Please tell, i am serious.
Judy
