The deep exam she refers to was a questionnaire I was asked to submit 2 mins before seeing her!!

So if so called pros know nothing about PCS and TBI what hope is there of help??

How unfortunate an experience for you peacheysncream, with the dismissive note by the spinal surgeon.
Fortunately for you that she in fact did not find anything that would have indicated an opportunity for surgery!

"What hope is there of help??" --- Perhaps like many here, you may find that our own good conscientious selfcare is often our best hope of help over time. If otherwise, I hope that you will find the capable, competent, truly helpful professionals consults. It's such a hit-&-miss business, finding the right medical care consultants.

My neurologist whom I saw ~3 weeks post-collision, was of typical no-help; and wrote a similar disregarding "observation note" that was in my case not only untrue, but as well harmful.
Because I was at the time of the appt. both scared & frightened by what I was experiencing, and afraid for "how long" I might yet remain "dysoperational" in regard to being capable to do a highly-demanding job which I loved --- he made a ridiculous note to the effect of: "Patient seems highly-focused on disability."

Idiot.
