Unprofessional one
Feb-2023
When you have a health problem such as disk degeneration, and you know there is no one single effective treatment, you want to talk to a specialist and hear about potential treatments that worked for others. And them work out on a plan. What’s the point of having a visit to hear - “yeah, I can’t touch that”
