However if travelling overseas for spine surgery, it would be a benefit (imo) to have an experienced patient advocate like Mark involved. I 'think' he actually attends the operations, which the surgeon would be mindful of.

Don't know why but I feel I have to respond to this post. I am appalled and frustrated, plus a number of other words that have not yet been added to the dictionary, at what happened to you as Crystal put it, in the hands of the world's best doctor. I don't even remember how many times I wrote a similar phrase myself.

I'm also quite ashamed to admit that one of my thoughts is thank G-d it didn't happen to me when it could have. Mark did attend my surgery and to think any doctor would be more diligent with 'witnesses' than without goes against everything anyone thinks about doctors. But then again, we here are all witness to non-caring doctors and those of lesser quality.

Did this watch dog agency help you at all and why? I do so hope your llife today is 'normal' though I do understand that the meaning of that word is relative.

My best, Dale
