Well, as I said before, the doctor was a dipwad. And it was the same doctor that didn't use enough local anesthetic for the cytoscopy, did the surgery in an outpatient clinic, and completely botched the after-care, so I'm not sure Mom would even trust this guy to do another surgery (provided it was even necessary).

Dr. Pearson (aka "Dipwad, MD") probably didn't make any effort to educate himself on my grandfather's OTHER problems, unlike his neurologist, who, so far, is AWESOME.

(Funny -- so much of my grandfather's tangling with Medicare is what fuels my resistance to and distrust of govt run healthcare.)
