You Know you have the WRONG DR when~~~

This is just like you know you have chiari when.....

but this time it is...about having the wrong NL or NS......

like when u call to make the appointment and the nurse asks you to spell chiari several times......that's a clue right there........

This is another thread we did last yr....complete the sentence : )

if the PCP says you've had the surgery there shouldn't be any more reason for these headaches.

Oh I know...lol.....

if the dr says ur herniation is only so big and doesn't warrant surgery...u know u have the wrong dr...cuz he has out dated info...we all know size is and should not be a factor!!!

.... you present them with a specific question and the first thing they ask is what insurance do you have.

Not that Dr shouldn't make his money. With mal-practice rates and such as they are... However, if a doctors first interest isn't in helping me rather than on his pocket book. Well then I'll go elsewhere. Or ...

.... after informing the new Dr that you have been dx with Chiari his/her next question is "What medications are you on for that?"

this list could get quite long you know sis?
