It is a weird story- she recommended I go to see an
associate in this ortho practice who is semi-retired
to be my "guide" and after-care doc... He listened to
my story, checked my (lousy) range of motion, looked
at the xrays, then said he is a knee doc, but he would
get McGann, the hip OS, to come in and chat with me.
The first doc did not know much about resurfs but did
admit I had done a lot of research. He was pushing me
not to go far away in case of complications.
Then the other doc came in , and you know the rest.
My GP was trying to help me find someone to take care
of me after surgery and select a surgeon. Her pet
peeve was not resurfacing, but my desire to travel to
a surgeon, esp overseas. But now that this report has
been generated, based in the attached note from her
that the visit was a success, I am sure she is now
against resurfs.
We shall see...
I have other options and appts, but nothing is clear
yet.
I am NOT going to get a THR, that is all I know!
I can think of numerous other docs who do resurfs I
can consult with whose reports she will also see- but
their reports will be about whether I am a candidate
for resurfacing, NOT about the merits and credibility
and stats of resurfacing.
I was thrown off by the change to a dissing of
resurfacing from how my hips are doing and how, with
whom, etc I would get a resurf.
And, clearly, my GP does not want to/feel qualified to
help me with post-op or selection of an HR surgeon.
She really knew nothing about resurfacing, but she is
a GP.
That's about the gist of it,

p.s. I guess i have felt weird about going to a local
OS who does resurfs if I plan to go elsewhere for the
surgery, just to ask him to do my after-care..
