The amazing Dr. Baumbach - another life-changing diagnosis?

[sahuaro]

Just wanted to add another amazing Baumbauch experience: Dr. Baumbach reviewed all of my records and films with care and diligence and then did a 3-way telephone conference with Mark and me--at about midnight his time and prior to leaving on a vacation. He was able to put together a clear description of my problems as evidenced from my records--something my docs here have not been willing to take the time to do. Sure wish I could see him in person.

I can believe there is someone out there that is such a great diagnostician and would spend that amount of time with patients. This is why I wanted to be working in the medical field in the first place, to work along side someone that actually cared~

To think that I became a neuro/ortho patient myself (working in Neurosurgery) and the road trip I've been through with doctors/surgeons in the U.S. I don't think I can come up with one experience that would match what Mark has brought forth re Dr.Baumbaugh and this particular patient in the whole 26 years I've been a spinal patient ~

Once upon a time when I first entered into the nursing field, it seemed that healthcare was actually about just that vs. strictly business..

What's a half a day when he's been in pain for so many years~ thank you Dr. for thinking that way~ we spinal patients are indebted to that type of compassion (I believe any type of patient with any healthcare concern/prob would be)~

What a refreshing thought that a doctor who is bound by the Hippocratic Oath would be motivated by care and compassion for the patient instead of greed and money. Individuals can make a difference. We need more Dr. Bambauch's. There is hope.

It's amazing when comparing the differences in industry cultures when comparing the medical profession abroad to our own. - Not just reading about it but experiencing it too - even though it was less than stellar reasons that landed us over there.
