Hi janelgo, welcome.

By all means feel free to post something in the Spinal Disorders & Back Pain forum, but as long as we're here...

I agree with your decision to cancel. That you do not have confidence in the surgeon is reason enough, IMO. I think the other reasons you gave are also justified.

Can anyone shed any light on how so many people are ending up with Staph infections!
There are several factors contributing to the problem, including but not limited to:
  • Over use of antibiotics leading to resistant strains such as MRSA
  • Poor design, lax exercise & enforcement of protocols by staff and patients
  • Infections inadvertantly being brought in by carriers

staph infections in hospitals
