And bei g oainfree is better than cash to me. Its all a game in the usa. Doctors go to a 2 hour class n then r certified to install new discs
Dude, wtf are you talking about. Why do I have to go to Bertagnoli? And why do I need to pay my surgeon upfront with cash? Is he suddenly going to perform better? And guess what, if I had surgery and had complications back in the US, most surgeons here won't want to take me on as a patient. Instead of having ADR surgery in my hometown (which was an option), I chose to fly out to Texas and go to what is generally considered to be the best place in the US to have this done. It's all about weighing the options and deciding what's best for yourself.
