Re: “I had an appointment with one of the top neurosurgeons in the midwest this morning”
It's nice to have a good doctor. There are a lot of bad ones, too!

My surgeon was the head of cardiology at Dartmouth. Before settling on him, I left the Dartmouth-Hitchcock hospital system completely just so I could get unbiased opinions elsewhere. Hence, my "regular" cardiologist is in Vermont, not New Hampshire. He agreed with what my surgeon had said about my condition, then added that he thinks the surgeon advanced Dartmouth-Hitchcock cardiology by fifteen years when he took charge. I asked him about the quality of the hospital and he thought highly of it. I asked if it was world class and he paused. "Well, it's not the Cleveland Clinic" he said. "But it's a very good hospital." Okay! I like honesty! (The Cleveland Clinic, I've since learned, is the "No. 1 hospital for heart care in U.S." So if any of you ever need SERIOUS heart care, that's where you want to go. The surgery I had, btw, while serious to me is not considered difficult surgery. And that's why I stayed with Dartmouth-Hitchcock.)

I really like my primary care physician. The guy listens and is reasonable. He didn't agree with me at all that there was any danger of my blood thinning medication becoming scarce, but he respected my reasoning enough that he gave me the second prescription I was requesting - while saying he wasn't sure if so doing was legal but he didn't know it to be ILLEGAL. Consequently, I now have a one-year surplus of warfarin instead of between 14 and 90 days. What a stupid limitation that is on our pharmaceuticals!
