i went to a neruosurgen for back problems,in which he told me doing a bone fushion was my ONLY choice.

Obviously, if the surgeon really performed unnecessary spinal surgery on you then you have a potential medical malpractice case and you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney.In my experience, doctors are often much more critical of other physicians during off the record conversations with patients than they are after a lawsuit is filed. Spinal surgery is rarely completely successful and many people undergoing fusions are disappointed in the outcome. This does not mean, however, that the doctor perform the surgery negligently.Only by examining your medical records and speaking to an expert will an attorney be able to tell you whether you have a viable malpractice case. Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
