Re: Are we Surgeons? Nope!

[Guest guest]

I second and third and fourth that!

I think these sites are helpful in giving people insight into what

sorts of experiences people have (good and not-so-good), since orthos

and surgeons don't always tell you what the recovery will be like

(it's different for everyone but there are some common aspects).

They are also helpful in providing info on what a person should be

asking, but you're absolutely right, the questions should be directed

at ortho and surgeon.
