The nurse was kind, but Dr. Elizaveta Malkhasian clearly tried to make me see that the constant pain for 7 months in my leg due to my sciatic nerve was minimal and that she could do nothing for me.

I was to see 4 physio before coming to see her, and 3 of them advised me an MRI because they could not explain some of my blockages without coming to the conclusion that I had damage to my column, and that a Magnetic Resonance Image would help to better understand and treat my case. I had seen my family doctor (a new graduate) who had suggested physical exercises that 2 other physio had strongly discouraged me thereafter.

The doctor who saw me in Plein Ciel quickly tested that I still had reflexes in my leg, and immediately told me that if my family doctor had not prescribed me MRI, she did not would not do it either, that she could do it only if I was in extreme pain. Dude ... I have been in constant pain for 7 months. I was not so bad the day I went to see her, but I told her that it's been days since it paralyzes me, where I can not make a movement without a pain knife in my leg. But according to her, I am currently not a sufficiently critical case for an MRI, even if it is covered by my insurance.

My problem with this prognosis is that it barely tested me. If she had checked 1/3 of what the physios I saw looked, if she had tried to see all the limits of my movements (can not lift the leg more than a few centimeters without much pain), and that she would have found that I do not need MRI, that I have to do this and that so that I am cured, wonderful, no problem. But I arrive in her office with Physio's recommendation for an MRI, she taps on my leg to see that my nerve is working and that's enough to tell me that I do not need anything, and she's not trying to help me by giving me the slightest exercise, recommendation for another professional or any other track to help me .... What kind of doctor is this? Shameful.
