Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. If your surgeon is so quick to believe whatever this nurse so-and-so says with no other info, then maybe he's not the one you want working on your spine. Unless you only have local-area insurance coverage, you've got lot's of options. You could try TBI, Cedars, Dr. Bitan, and the other top-notch US ADR surgeons. You could go to Dr. Bertagnoli or Zeegers in Europe. You could look for other competent ADR surgeons near where you live. This guy isn't the only good surgeon in the world. Don't let yourself be bullied by vengeful office staff.
Best,
Laura
