What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Knee Pain and Surgery : Learn The Truth About MRIs And Common Misdiagnoses--And Avoid Unnecessary Surgery

Summary: Do you trust your doc?
Review: Orthopaedic docs come from the ranks are our county's best and brightest. Surely I can count on getting top quality care for my knee, right? That's what I figured, but Dr Grelsamer explains why this ain't necessarily so as only an insider can. (Money, the medial system, tremendous technology changes, and the tricky nature of the knee come into play.)

If you are having any doubts about your course of treatment (especially surgery), I think this is a great resource to arm yourself with knowlege. Of course I am not medically trained, but I spent days coursing the internet and this info feels on target. And it really opened up my eyes. If you go into surgery, why not do it (or not do it) with your eyes wide open?

I could have avoided an unessary cortisone shot if I had gotten this earlier... Very easy reading..... Just raced/skimmed through it last night in a few hours.... Organized well making it a good reference... A steal for the cost...

I cannot think of any negatives. Though I imagine if I was a doc, I might have disagreements about specific technical assertions.

Don't get me wrong. If your doc is experienced and has a good repuation, you may be fine. But even this ain't necessarily so...

Summary: knee pain
Review: This book was an excellent synopsis of what every patient needs to know about their knee pain, what the possible diagnoses are, what treatment options they have, and what tests may be helpful in treating their condition. An excellent resource to the public. I wish every doctor could explain things the way Dr. Grelsamer does in his book. Nothing is meant to go over the paitents head.
