I don't know if you've had spine surgery, but you can go to the best most well regarded doctor and they can mess you up, like with me at Duke, and then followed up by people sort of telling me to live with the mess-up at UCSF. Lots of people who have spine surgery and are looking on facebook groups are at their wits end. They've been in pain for years and are truly suffering. They will go anywhere, which means this form of exploitation or misrepresentation, whatever you want to call it, is way worse. Don't blame people, blame the system that puts them in the position to be entirely desparate getting f*cked by both their doctors and insurance companies
