Mary,
Congratulations on your successful surgery. I know you're going to have a great outcome.
Yes, all surgeons have occasional complications and even bad outcomes. Until recently such things were unheard of from Dr Clavel's patients on this site. I wouldn't call it "negative energy", but rather simply an observation or acknowledgement that as of late Dr Clavel's patients are experiencing an unusually high complication rate. Dr Clavel was my ADR surgeon in 2009; I will need another ADR or fusion at C7/T1 in the future, and I intend to have him perform that surgery when it is needed (provided his complication rate drops back to its usual level).
Good luck, Jeff
