Saw a back surgeon and signed the arbitration papers. Hence, if things got back post-surgery, suing would probably not be an option.
I wonder if this is from the attorney's glomming onto the Charite lawsuit bandwagon or if its from inherently poor results of ADR in general. The doc has a great reputation btw.

Interesting addition to your surgeon's administrative procedures...
Which surgeon did you choose? Congratulations (I guess) on making this very big step.

Hi S:
Actually, this was a 1.2 year follow-up visit, not designed for surgery but to determine where I am. This tack is relatively new for Dr. Regan and I wonder if this w/be a trend. If I must have surgery, as my insurance w/refuse, I may have to see Dr. B. - but I don't have that kind of money yet. My main question is if I waited too long re: facets; and the only way is to have the ADR and wait.  And best to you. Both of us are at the degenerated stage e.g. osteophyte growths, etc. Allan
