IMHO, in most cases, your surgeon does not want to be your doctor... they want to be your surgeon. It's difficult for us to understand when they become non-responsive and disengaged. It's not because there is nothing to be done, it's because they no longer see you as a surgical candidate. For many of us, there is a huge disconnect as we try to navigate these waters because we are expecting a level of management from the surgeons that they'll only provide for their surgical patients. (In the worst case, it's only for their pre-op surgical patients.)
