@sbraden1234 He knows, but I don't think he wants to admit to a result that is a problem. He considers it a finished case. It's hard to accept this as a patient. I was getting wrong diagnoses when I was trying to get help, and I found medical literature with a case like mine right after I had been dismissed by a surgeon who told me surgery wouldn't help all the issues I had and it may be an inflammatory problem like MS. No doctor at that facility would help me with the new information because he made a mistake, and you don't point that out to a colleague who is at the top of the ladder. I had other doctors who had seen me as a patient for years there, and their advice was get another opinion and they recommended Mayo. That's what I did, and presented the medical literature with my request to be seen. It was the correct answer, and surgery solved all the problems. I had found my correct diagnosis that had been missed by 5 surgeons.
Where do you think you should look for another opinion?
