Surgery Online?

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping to find out if there are any websites out there where an orthipedic surgeon can view your files and give you a consultation on an injury.

I have injured my shoulder in 2006 and just got information back from my recent MRI and I have a lapriel tear deep in my shoulder. This injury leaves me in alot of pain on almost a daily basis. The surgeon I have been referred to cannot see me until Sept 29, 2009.

I want to know if anyone is aware of a place where i can send my file to get a quicker response as to what my next step will be.

Thanks for the comments.

Ouch! A year wait for a doctor consult - yikes! I have had great success with "long distance" doctors. I do talk therapy and exercise/physical therapy over the phone and I even have "seen" an orthopedic specialist online for a back injury. It takes some creativity but it can be done! Good luck with your shoulder.
