I'm currently in the journey. ENS causes a negative domino effect through out the body.
Majority cannot work any longer and financial stability is threatened. Healthcare is not set up to understand or treat leaving hundreds, that I know of, desperate for solutions, understanding and help. We are taken advantage of from treatments that do not work or make it worse,as we enter a world of despair, many take their own life in agony and loss of hope. Every single day is a nightmare you don't get to wake up from. Sinus should never be touched. Turbinates and structures of the cavity are there for a purpose. Yes, you are right they know the assault on the body this creates. Unfortunately ignorance, malpractice and human unawareness remains in an industry based on money and unnecessary surgery instead of taking time to care for the patient and investigate the cause and effect.
Thank you for your interest.
I haven't all I can do is live in the hour by hour.

Thank you for your detailed and honest response. I know it’s not easy to post, but hopefully it will resonate with others when they are looking for information.

I would recommend anyone whom is entertaining the idea of an elective (non life threatening/emergency) surgery, to take the time to comb through online videos of ENTs speaking to other ENTs on their campuses, rhinological meetings and panel discussions. After watching/ listening and seeing how indifferent they all are- Their surgical failures and reasonings for those failures and how much they do not truly know about the nasal function, fairly certain people would be able to make a more informed decision.

-there is even one panel discussion w/ an ENT whom claims he no longer does turbinate surgery due to being involved in too many litigations. Doubt he would ever tell a patient that’s his reasoning.

So just be very educated and aware everyone.
