@camsheila2001 Don't get me wrong. I was not accusing anyone of being litigious. I was merely reporting that doctors fear that and may choose to avoid the possibility, no matter how remote, by not taking on the patient.

If Mayo turned you down, and you are able to or can afford to travel, try the Hospital for Special Surgery. It is the top orthopedic hospital in the country and it does lots of knee replacements and revisions.
