Are you talking about being someone with an implant?
I moved from CA to FL recently, if so and I know exactly what you mean.
I went to this local neuropain instutitue that my pcp referred me to because I wanted an MRI because I'm in all this pain?
I only mentioned the pain and asked for an MRI to see if there might be something to be seen, I didn't say anything about the implant....but WOW.
The first thing the guy said is, "There is no local surgeon who will touch you with that implant there from California."
I was shocked. What if that surgeon dies? I had not even asked them to do anything with the implant specifically
So I'm supposed to go to California every time I need anything? I had to beg the man to order the MRI, I told him the truth, the pain has gotten so bad that I'm afraid I might have carcinoma or something. He finally said, "OK I'll order it but it's for diagnostic purposes only. Whatever we find, we're not going to do anything about here because you have that implant." I'm paraphrasing a little but not much. It was ridiculous
