I'm just feeling helpless for so many reasons. Long time pain management patient for multiple spinal disorders. Have tried many meRAB, current one is not great. Saw the surgeon that came highly recommended about four years ago but was afraid to follow through. The last couple of months have been seriously considering the surgery and was going to call him this week to proceed. I've been off work this week due to the pain but went in today. Had to leave early due to an unsympathetic boss (made me move boxes of files from one side of building to another) and just couldn't take being mobile any longer. Went home, got as comfortable as I could, turned on the news and guess what? I'm sure no one will believe me but the surgeon who had come so highly recommended was the #1 news story. He was arrested for fraud. Very complicated story but it involved a surgical patient of his who had become paralyzed after surgery performed by him and his partner and they had conspired with lawyers to blame it on the anesthesiologist. It's being called the "medical mafia" here in LV. What to do?
 
that really sucks! but there are other specialist out there - so don't give up. Get another recommendation from someone. I asked the people at the MRI facility I went to for my MRI who they liked the most, because they see so many people from so many different surgeons. Good luck and don't give up.
