Oh and you can’t forget… they are similar in that they wave at you when you bring your car in for a routine oil change! Or at least that’s how I feel… he saunters in, asks “How ya doing?” and saunters back out again. “NEXT!”

This is just ripe for a Toyota, or trade in, sarcastic comment…hehehe…….

I still believe, from my outsider standpoint, that this surgery is still in enough of an “infancy” (for lack of a better word) that the Drs performing the surgery don’t have a clue what will happen down the line…..

I think the assembly line has the flaws…..they keep moving people thru the process without any long term research to prove it will run continuously…….

But then, I’m still expecting Lasik patients to end up blind some day, another example of a rush to make something better without any long term guarantees……..

Until enough of you make loud noises about what happens after the 50,000 mile mark, the corrections to the initial surgery won’t be considered……and the magic mechanic won’t be able to come up with a solution, until he sees enough opportunities to work on enough broken drive shafts….

Ah, look what you started, LOL…..

I totally agree–at least as far as the pcp. He’s apathetic to the fact that I had the surgery and oblivious to the fact that he’s my PCP! I’m only 5 weeks out and I’m ready to find someone who actually cares. I’m not having problems, but even talking to them is ridiculous.

the end.

Thanks, I try to tell the truth and it can be hard…Especially when people aren’t ready to hear it…

I agree, I had my surgery 2 years ago and not unlike a used car salesman my surgeon promised how great I would feel, how my quality of life would be so much better and how this would be the best decision for me.

Well guess what when I started to have complications under the hood… so to speak, my surgeon was no help at all. Where is this guy who promised that things would be so great, he is out on the lot looking to make another sale to a customer who really just needs to be steered into the right direction.
