The number of complex back surgeries on older adults has sharply increased in recent years, increasing Medicare costs for patients, but not necessarily improving back health.

Plain study was done and revealed likely L4/5 disc protrusion and L5/S1 central/right paracentral bulge, which could not explain the left sided persistent pain. Post gadolinium study was advised by our radiologists. On post gadolinium scans in addition to the residual/recurrent disc pathology, focal enhancing soft tissue was noted in the left lateral recess at L5/S1 level with impingement of the left sided traversing root (S1) and exiting nerve root (L5) at this level.

Pharmagirl10 brought this crap to my attention: One Doctor’s Quest to Cut Unneeded Treatments (Behold These Six Common Medical Procedures That Do No Patient Any Good) What happened to responsible journalism?

There is no such thing as a grain of salt. If it’s on ABC news, it’s fact. The average American is naive and actually believes in responsible journalism. They believe that articles like this have b... The Angriest Pharmacist blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2441452 Fri, 22 May 2009 23:35:54 +0100 2441452
