@janesirene, for patient privacy, it is not recommended that a member reveal their location. Revealing the hospital or surgeon from whom they received care, violates a person's privacy and personal health information.

Aside from patient privacy, I don't want to reveal his name. He does,however, have a good rating on healthgrades or one of those websites that rate doctors. Maybe he was under a lot of stress that day, but anyway, even though I'm in pain and still considering an operation, I actually was laughing and glad and sorry at the same time when I left his office, because I was relieved but also felt bad that I upset him so much. 🙂 Thank you, though, for your concern. I will say it was in one of the sunshine states. I actually think he is a good surgeon, maybe he was stressed out that day, but anyway, frankly, I feel relieved and will continue moving forward. (I was asking him a lot of questions -- he practically yelled at me when he said (I'm laughing when I say this) that it will be very painful recovery and will need to be in a rehab center, etc. He must have been having problems personally, I suppose. OR he just didn't really like me, lol. Plus having problems. 🙂 Take care.
