One comment from a long-timer: this community and earlier versions of this occasionally go through periods of ugly posts while people debate which surgeon is "best" for whatever definition of best that's currently being debated. Rich, AKA Harrison, has had to step in when these debates go from exchanges of opinions to angry defense of those opinions; on either side of the debate. Saying that you don't want to use surgeon X doesn't get you banned, though you might get questions about why. Saying that surgeon X is "Insert slanderous statement here" gets you cautioned by Rich. Attacking someone because they don't share your opinion is a fast way to get banned.

Bluntly, we're not paying your medical bills. That means you don't have to defend your opinions of the different surgeons to us. If you want to vent your frustrations or check with the community to see if they've had the same opinion an issue, feel free but there's enough active posters on this board that you can be pretty sure that someone has the opposite opinion on nearly any issue you raise. Think about that when you choose your phrasing.
