It is a shame the many times I read, see, and hear of patients "figuring out" things on their own either through research, self-referrals, blog sites such as this. I find that most physicians would prefer the quick and easy cases.....what a shame after all their long hours, nights of training. Not many are willing or have the resources, in some cases to do their own investigative medicine. Probably not their original thoughts on becoming a healthcare provider but since medical/patient care is now being run as a business model that's what happens and the patient/patient care is suffering for it. Large research centers are our best bet as that's what is being evaluated....the patient and clinical presentation

Totally agree....im so tired of the 10 min appointments and out the door u go. Or they send u to another dept. Yesterday I showed my primary care doctor the written mri about the syrinx and he said I don't know but I can send u to a neurologist?
