1 /5 Michael Bass: I was referred to Doctor at Neurosurgery, through my primary care insurance. I have a history of back pain stemming from an injury from the military. I had recently injured my back again and had increased back pain and my leg was/is numb from a pinched nerve. I brought a CD of my latest MRI scan, and I had not yet emailed the notes that went along with the MRI. The doctor came in and pulled up my MRI and started to tell me that my back looked great and that he sees nothing wrong with me. I asked if he was sure he has the right MRI pulled up and he started to tell me it is mine and pointing out all the great things going on with back. I pulled up on my phone the notes that go with the MRI, that contradict his observation, he changed his direction and eventually told me my back is not that bad, and I was not old enough for surgery. He did not once examine me, no offer to help me, didnt ask my pain level, nothing. It was a waste of time and money; I did not feel he was concerned about my wellbeing at all. I felt that this hospital only wanted my copay and keep scheduling appointments for my money and there was no real work towards a solution of healing.
