I am asking this because once while in the US I needed a very expensive practice. First it stemmed I would not get coverage for it but then a hospital social worker took my case, she fought for me, and finally the health insurance paid for it.
Have you make the decision to have the surgery or you have doubts on it?
Best wishes

Not yet. Im in contact with a neurosurgeon now about 40 mins from me. He wants me to get another set of scans (MRI of my thoracic spine, CT Scan of the entire length and a 2 shot pic (standard X Ray) of the entire length just to make sure its not a true diag. Just waiting on the call from the Hospital where I am to get the scans done at to call me.
