Keep in mind there’s a lot of junk out there on the web, and you can get the wrong diagnosis or bad advice, but educating yourself is very important.
I recently spoke to someone who said she saw a surgeon she was referred to by her primary care doctor. This surgeon told her she needed surgery right away (by the way all he did was read the MRI; no exam was even performed). This individual, the patient, said “I’d like to get another opinion or think it over before I do anything.” Before she left the surgeon replied, “be careful on the road, if you get in an accident you could be paralyzed.” Pretty unbelievable and scary night!
There are good and bad doctors of all types just like there’s good and bad politicians, or chefs, or truck drivers, but the bottom line is be educated so you make the right decisions with your health.
The person in the story I described above may be rare, but you better believe crazier things have happened. If you don’t feel comfortable with your doctor, find another.
At CT Spine and Disc Center, our chiropractors will do the necessary tests needed and look at any MRI’s, x-rays, etc … and ask the right questions and give you the honest answers you need. In fact, numerous patients have told us that they have never had such a thorough exam before.
So educate yourself so you know what your options are and make the right decision regarding your spine health.
