Quote from: SpeedDialer on August 30, 2022, 08:34:17 PMThanks!!! When you walked into the orthopedic doctor after coming home, what other purposes did you give for the visit aside from asking for x-rays?


I got leg lengthening and I wanted a second opinion about the quality of the work that was done.

When I get back after the surgery, I am not sure if that situation will have changed. What would you recommend?


just go to the emergency room, tell them you had both legs broken and fixed abroad a month ago, but that day you fell down with your walker as it got stuck on the carpet and want to make sure the legs are ok

Quote from: KiloKAHN on August 30, 2022, 09:34:35 PMGet a Kaiser Permanente HMO and then ask for a referral to an orthopedic surgeon. Once there they'll request x-rays when they follow up on you and then you can pick up CD images of your x-rays that you can later send to Dr G.


he already has an insurance, and they say they'd decline his xray requests
also you cant "get a kaiser permanent HMO" in the middle of the year, he has to commit to this insurance network from january 2023 and be on it the entire year
