Kathie Lee Gifford Told the Truth About Hip Replacement

Thank God for the internet and the connection people can make with one another about anything going on in the world. 

I just read Kathie Lee Gifford at age 70 had a hip replacement which was "very serious and extremely painful".  I am 81 years old and just had my yearly physical in which my doctor was only interested in me having a hip replacement "That only takes 45 minutes and is very easy"

I told him I would not undergo surgery unless a matter of life or death  . He suggested a Conradson shot, but would not refer a orthopedic doctor to administer.it.  He gave me a written referral for me to use for any doctor I used.

When I got my lab work by email, I called his office to get an explanation for the results.  I called twice and my calls were never returned 

Since 1987 whenever I had my physical, all doctors suggested hip replacements.  It took me years to find out Carole Wells Doheny needs hip replacement and may be in a wheelchair by now, but needed my name and insurance coverage to get it just like she did with UCLA Medical Center in 2008 for the radical hysterectomy for cancer I was subjected to.  

Am I back to questioning every medical treatment any doctor on the Westside of Los Angeles to me is for Doheny including prescription drugs?
