What if all the doctors were wrong and I was right? this is an email I sent to my neurologist:

No surgeon wants to see my thoracic spine MRI, two say that I must get a fusion on my neck, and two say I shouldn't.

It seems to be up to me and I will only make a decision when I find a surgeon that's not afraid of vital organs and ribs. I won't be able to make a choice until I find a surgeon that can see my spine as a whole. Because to see and to understand are like the same thing.

At what moment did this stop being rational and my thoracic spine stop being part of my back?.

I had an accident and my back is damage, at what point did my thorax become an excluded area like Chernobyl, or an unspeakable thing like Voldermort? Or is it invisible? The only invisible thing right now is my ass because I'm losing weight in a bad way. 

I have constant and stabbing pain and the symptoms come from T7, T8, I've found this: "Sometimes other tests maybe ordered because herniated thoracic disc pain and symptoms can mimic heart, lung, and stomach conditions" I  found around 200 case reports and they mention my symptoms: "Unsteady gait", "Ataxia", "Progressive weakness", "Heart and lungs discomfort", "Constant headache".

My symptoms have been ignored by a bunch of men who think I have anxiety, and those same men get too anxious to take a look at my MRI. Have you seen the MRI?

Do you think I'm going to blindly accept a half-baked diagnosis made by people who are incapable of looking at an MRI.

When was logic lost and this became a matter of belief?

I'm not denying that my neck is a problem, but I know that the thorax is a bigger problem, and if I need a fusion in my neck, what do I need in my thorax?

thank for reading,

-My neurologist wasn’t angry about the email, he agreed with me. That’s how I found an excellent doctor, whom I always recommend if you need a neurologist in the NYC area.
