The UW (Re: Sam's back injury update!)

[Guest guest]

I was looking for experience with the University of Washington Medical center

and spine surgery. Mine would possibly involve L5/S1, maybe.

Apparently I have to go to Seattle (107 miles south) to see the orthopod

surgeon. There is only one spine guy in my area and he doesn't take my health

coverage, hence the road trip.

I understand they're supposedly pretty good at the UW, but wanted

confirmation...

But I don't know much about the surgeons. Anyone have experience with the UW and

spine surgery?
