Clear CRITERIA to seperate Emergency vs. Elective Back Surgery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I read this book along with several others associated with pain management which must also be taken into consideration. I found the answer to a basic question I would ask a doctor providing me with health advise. Should I have surgery on my back? The surgeon says yes, but that is how they get paid. Other doctors provide mixed responses. But what is the criteria they are using to provide their recommendation? At what point is surgery required? This book answered that question for me; ***Will the surgery provide a clear benefit?***. Falling over a flopping foot; Unable to control your bowels (A life threatening event),etc are clear winners, even if other conditions persist after surgery. Depending on your specific back problem, this is the answer you really need to know. The reader must determine the key questions which this book has addressed when faced with making the decision to have back surgery.
