Seeing others with scoliosis
I wasn't sure which forum this should go in, hopefully this is ok.
How often do others see people with scoliosis? I occasionally see middleaged people with scoliosis. Some appear to be moving in pain. It takes everything I have not to tap them on the shoulder and talk to them about it, because I am curious, I guess, why they have not had surgery. I would love to show them my x-rays and steer them in the direction of Dr. Askin.
But I watch them pass by thinking it's none of my business but wonder if I'm doing the right thing by saying nothing. Thoughts?
