Where to begin - guess it would be best to start by ignoring the comments about twisted nickers. First of all, I've already indicated I cannot give an answer to your satisfaction (up thread) but you can be certain I'll press for all the gory details (and write them all down) next visit.
Why you are concerned that I am not receiving proper treatment is curious to me - seems this opinion is based upon the fact that you, who are not a doctor, do not agree with one who is, and has been treating me over a long period of time.
And I don't know why my diagnosis should be so alarming to anyone. I believe its a known fact that surgery is not the always and completely best answer for everyone - this doctor for one thing, has noticed a significant improvement in quality of life over the last year. The beautiful Egyptian (and he really is) tracks my spine yearly, and yes measures the cobb angles - looking for dreaded progression. What is the problem with this?
If you read my previous post, where I discuss our doctor/patient relationship ... no - the really, really, really, bad back comment does not concern me at all. Now, if this comment were made on an initial first visit, then yes it may bother me - but not in context of a very good relationship that has been established over the course of time.
