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?
