Alastair,

Please read the entire thread. Please stop at the end of each relevant item and try to digest what is being said.

Nobody objects to the content of the post.

The problem lies in that you have taken another person's story and have morphed it into a sensationalized warning about a situation that you have no knowledge of. You seem to be hanging on to the idea that you are providing a service by informing the community about a situation that they should be wary of. However, you are ignoring the fact that the patient and her husband believe that you are misrepresenting the situation and that your using their words in this manner is misleading and and alarmist (at best).

Let's let the story play out and find out what is really happening. Let's let the patient and her husband tell the story themselves and they will determine the tone.

Being an alarmist about a situation before you know the facts is not helpful to you, them or the community. It damages your credibility and dilutes the value of these communities.

If you understand this, please stay and be a productive member of iSpine.

All the best,

Mark
