saw local nsg

[Guest guest]

I saw my local nsg yesterday, what a strange visit. I had seen his

Physicians Assistant originally, and was given a tentative diagnosis

of ACM1,no syrinx. He confirmed this, and also said I have stenosis

of C5 and 6 that requires surgery. However, he did not like the fact

that I had questions, did not like that I am going to get a second

opinion, and after asking where I was going (U of M) promptly told me

that I would never get in there. I asked him how many Chiari

surgeries he has done. (he is in his late 50's) He said he had done

some in training and maybe does 5 a year. I asked him what is my

degree of herniation, he said, I don't know, maybe a centimeter.

After that visit I grabbed my MRI's and ran out of that office. I

will take my chances at getting into U of M. Good Grief! Theresa ACM

1, stenosis, waiting for surgery!
