Mary talking to Dr. Smith |
|
 | Hello Dr... My "chronic" back pain is getting worse |  |
|
 | I am sorry to hear that... there is several things we can do about that |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | Mary, I am going to be "candid" with you... There is not much we can do. There are 2 options. First we can try and go into the "cerebral" part of your brain and trick it into lessining the pain. Or we can do surgery to put up a "buttress" to hold support the back bone. |  |
|
 | I am confident that the surgery will work. Thant sounds like a "benign" idea. |  |
|

|
|
 | Are you sure you want to go through with the treatment |  |
|
 | Yes Dr. Smith I am sure.Thanks |  |
