My dearest love, may you tell me the reasons why you don't you trust surgeons, please?
Because, for the most part, what they know is anatomy and surgery, and so they tend to see surgery as the best option. They're also more full of themselves than other doctors. The history of spinal surgery, in particular, is replete with all sorts of disastrous operations. See https://duckduckgo.com/?q=malpractice+spinal+surgery&t=ffnt&ia=web for examples.
In this specific moment, your answer will probably be very interesting for me.
Do you appreciate or, at least, trust doctors in general or not? Some specifically medical area?
I generally don't trust doctors. In the US anyway, they're generally driven too much by greed for money and status. And far too manipulated by the pharmaceutical and device industries. But there are many who are truly caring and competent, of course.
I trust only a few surgeons. And I would give my life for only one of them because he saved me a few months ago. Not in a surgery, he explained me very important subjects about my body, trusting in my capacity of processing informations rationally... wow... The human body and its anatomy are fascinating, an astonishing beauty even when is damaged, hurt like mine...
OK, so _he_ sounds like a _good_ surgeon :) And yes, we are very complicated machines. But fortunately, we're also amazingly good at self-repairing. Although it can take a _long_ time :( Be well <3
