Dr. O seemed to be in a hurry. I was prepared to give him a quick synopsis of my condition, but was never given the opportunity to do so. I was happy that he ordered the x-ray of my spine that showed that I had scoliosis I did not realize that I had it, and the degree to which I had it. Aside from that, I walked out of his office with many questions unanswered and with a lack of knowledge about what I could/should expect going forward. I guess that's what the internet is for in 2024.
