Need A Back Doctor ?
Let's get something understood right here , right now. Just because a doctor says he is a back doctor , does not mean he works on all of the back. Most doctors say they are back doctors , so they can get all of the volume ( patients equals money ) they can. With that said , Schoettle is only a Lumbar doctor. If you have another type of back injury , he will want to continue being your Sugar Daddy , while he sends you off to Vanderbilt , to be cured. Keep in mind , he only gives a monthly supply of 15 Lortabs , for your pain problems.
During your office visit , you will spend 5 minutes with the nurse and 1 minute with the doctor. He has a golf schedule to keep , and THAT ! , my friends , has priority over the patient. In addition , he does'nt have anyone qualified to use the phone , in the event the computer system craps out. So , keep in mind , his office could lose you and that means , you've been forgotten. SOooooo. What was your name again ? Oh , yes , now I remember , that office visit will cost a mere 475 $ , cough it up , please. That's more expensive than other doctors. Oh , yeah , about that phone. Don't bother calling him , no one will tell him you called. Nope , I'm not kidding. Remember , this is St. Thomas we're talkin 'bout. What do ya mean , you're outta Lortabs ? You were given 10 pills for the month. What have you done wit 'em ?
So , can I recommend him ? Nope. I don't have a Lumbar injury. There are people , who kiss the ground he walks on. While other patients cuss him out , for not telling them , he does'nt do C-spine injuries. Well , ha ha ha , think about it. Does it make sense to have Schoettle , for your doctor , if he is sending you to a doctor at Vanderbilt , for treatment ? No , it does not ! So , before you get a back doctor for your needs , consider asking questions. Once you're locked in , it's difficult to get out , because of the narcotics agreement you will have to sign. In other words , you're giving the doctor your life's rights and you have no come back in the event , you no longer have a back to come back with. Ha ha ha , that's a little joke , get it ? So , " Watch Your BACK , Jack " . Because no one else will.
