The issue I had was the initial lack of understanding about my referral. I feel I drove three hours expecting to be seen by a neurosurgeon and then was seen by a spine doctor who formed an uninformed opinion which he then did acknowledge was incorrect when he viewed my referral and the MRI and reports.
