I would love to have a doctor tell me, just once, "I don't know what;s goingon, but let me consult with some of my colleagues. If necessay, I know a guy at XYZ medical center who specializes in this kind of thing." Do they think that if they confer with someone else, they will be considered less of a doctor?

I hear what you are saying. As a result from one of my SI joint fusions, I ended up with a hernia. So I had to have an incisional hernia surgery. There was a doc that was going to do the open approach and I would be hospitalized for five days after. I didn’t know there were more options. He could t do his surgery by the ended of the year so I started calling around to other docs. I found one doc that said I could have robotic surgery and would go home the sane day. So that’s what I did. I was so greatful I called around and realized there were more options. You have to be your own advocate.
