Woohoo for Doctor Tania! Best listener. Best bedside manner. Best pain relief. Ever.
So here's why you need to research your medical providers carefully. Doctor T works with the Colorado Anesthesia Consultants group. Had a bad experience with one of their docs before, and some of their former (?) doctors' practices have resulted in some unfavorable notice in the press and the legal system. So normally I wouldn't be recommending the group. But Dr. Orzynski . . . She's totally rad 'n rockin.
I needed a steroid shot in my back for a blown disc (gotta remember not to try to lift small cars to recover dropped money, or other such stupid stuff). Needed / wanted it bad, and the doc I'd seen before wasn't available for several days, so I started my research and came upon the good Doctor T. I loved her level of experience, her professional reputation, and the way she talked about the procedure with both my wife and me. Turned out the procedure seems to have been a success, but that's not the main point. Sometimes these injections work and sometimes they don't. The main point is that you need to have trust and communication with your medical care providers and Dr. Orzynski's the best there is for those skills (plus not hurting feels soooo good).
So be careful. It's dangerous out there. But when you do stupid stuff (and we all do), remember the good doctor Dr. Tania. She'll become your bdff. read more
