1st specialist (Orthopaedic surgeon) I went to started describing fusion to me when he knew damn well that I wanted ADR (after the most painful discogram ever performed on a living human being).

When I stopped him and told him that I wanted ADR (again), his response was that they hadn't learned that yet at their office, so I should just wait for him to learn, and then have surgery.

Ummm...no, thanks. Bye!

2nd specialist (Neurosurgeon) that I went to was experienced in ADR, but not in multi-level ADR, and wanted me to wait a year for multi-level ADR surgery to gain acceptance in the U.S. He almost fell out of his chair when I suggested German surgeon.

Later!
