He is having a medical procedure
that is cutting edge, no pun in-
tended, because there is no cut-
ting. He didn’t want to discuss
it with his primary or local
orthopedic surgeon anticipating
professional objections to that
with which they might not be fam-
iliar. It’s quick and fast and
only needles invade the flesh.
It’s his body healing his broken
down body parts. The physicians
just move things from here to
there so to speak. After the
first shot, and well on his way,
he told his primary who, of cour-
se, consulted the orthopedic sur-
geon. In the face of scant know-
ledge, they both said, “Suppose
it can’t hurt.” He would have
anyway because it is his body
healing itself. That seems to
indicate it should be his de-
cision. Besides, without insur-
ance coverage, who else is going
to pay for it?
