Thank you!
I have had one consult with a shoulder specialist who has been recommended by a radiologist at university of washington.
I was impressive with him when i met him, and through his vast web presence. I think his training is impressive: Rush, Hospital for special surgery, and training in...
Boy am i frustrated… tried to see if I could consult with a second surgeon, who happen to be in the same clinic as one I saw a couple weeks ago. The person on the phone said she would have to ask the other doctor if he would be willing to see me, but then I think she didn’t wanna bother so she...

Just had my second TKR on March 16, 2023. (First one was July, 2016.)

The first one was cemented.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and for your reply!
For what it’s worth, I did ask her if I was putting her in an awkward position since her partner did the first TKR. She responded and said no they are both so busy they do not know what each other is doing. I also asked her when her...
