As Spine Surgeon I am accustomed to people being scared of surgery.The
moment we suggest surgery to a patient,there is a sense of shock and
unease on the face of the patient.This unnecessary fear is actually
without logic.First of all surgery is suggested only as a last option
and after all other options have been used.And it is suggested when in
our view the patient has the best chance of recovering from debilitating
pain affecting every day life.Yes in doubt,patients must seek second
opinion but we must get over this unfounded fear of surgery.
