Not every treatment works

Sat., April 27, 2019

Speaking about the article in the Spokesman-Review about stem cells (“The truth about stem cell therapy,” April 14):

Yes, I think they are scamming you when they charge you $5,000 for a shot that didn’t work. You know they aren’t paying anywhere near such a price!

On the other hand, not all surgeries work, either, but do you ask for your money back from the doctor?

The good part is Medicare and some insurance companies pay for it!

Mine does because I called and spoke with three reps and they said absolutely we will!
