Post-op thermal therapy

My surgeon gave me his email

My Doctors never do. HIPA prevents that degree of attention to care nowadays.

Edited to respond to the fat that some Doctors DO take phone calls and emails:
Each office sets their own rules. The two local civilian offices I have dealt with have front offices that do not allow patien-initiated contact with the Doctors (at least ones who have not had the actual surgery yet but only the prrliminary stuff) this may be because i am a VA patient--I don't know. The 3 VA facilities/hospitals and the one military hospital where i had the implanr do not provide easy access to the Doctors.

Dr Eid and Dr Kramer have accepted my emailed queries with ease, so I know different people WILL have different experiences.

I accept this limited access as part of the cost of gaining the EXCELLENT treatment provided to me as a disabled USAF Veteran. I knew this going in and yhat, in a small way influenced the amount of effort I put into my preop research.

We have HIPA here and my doctor gave me his email too.

It may not be "black letter law" but they cited HIPA as the reason. Each office will do their own interprrtation and set their procedured to cover their own lisbilities. Some places are more officious than others more casual.

HIPA does not prevent the use of electronic communications. It basically requires that if it will be used, proper safeguards must be in place (pretty technical stuff).

The first four days I kept a bag of frozen peas under my balls and another one on top of my dick. I even slept with it.
