I mean I suppose I could, but I could also get more second opinions from local neurosurgeons on my insurance--I think I've established it's messed up. Sending my films to surgeons who I ultimately actually can't have surgery with just sounds depressing. That's the exact situation I'm in now. With relative certainty, my fusion's not doing well, and I know my other discs are going, but there's nothing I can do about it because I'm poor and my health insurance sucks.
