I started looking for a back surgeon in the USa but everywhere i went thry accused me of drug seeking and i wound u with no medication and in such agonizing pain all i could do is scream all day. Luckily some friends gave me left over pills to get through it but that expiernce, combined with the very high costs under obama care (it was high before but never this high) ultimately caused me to opt for dutch surgery instead. It was way better but the issue there was the wait was so god awful slow I'd often not get proper treatment just due to the wait.
@freemo @10X @snder Ah cool! I work in healthcare cost and quality reporting / health care reform - this is stuff I've been wading through for 20 years now. It's a neverending rabbit hole π
