Dear Jim,

I find no fault with your logic nor did I try to test it against my
own. The grit behind an opinion posted publicly is warmly
appreciated. Indeed, it will probably be the path I'll follow. But
we put such effort into presenting our bodies to the knife, to be
treated so callously truly adds insult to injury. However, I am
presently awash with chemicals that often cause me to misconstrue such
oafish behavior. By expecting polite behavior from a an over-paid and
ill-educated technician is to put reality at risk :-)

Since time is the only resource of which I have a surplus -- and even
that perception is flawed if we use the Grim Reaper's clock -- I'll
spend it lavishly in hopes (laughable) of finding some Silver Bullet
instead of an ill-mannered oaf likely to send out for pizza should the
procedure run a bit too long.

I understand your sentiment on this subject, also. I was not pleased with my
1st back procedure, or my second one. I found someone different for my second
one, and if I have to undergo a third one, I would think long and hard, and
probably try to find a third practice to have a go at it.

It is kind of like appreciating a weather man. There are not too many
occupations where you are considered a genius, if you are able to be right 50%
of the time. It seems a back surgeon is another one of the occupations. To be
poorly treated by one on top of that is inexcusable.

Good luck on which ever and when ever way you go. Your medical dilemmas are
always at the top of my thoughts.
