so..I called my Dr and asked him if he does the cauterization on the
surface or submucous.

He said "both"

Then he said "why are you asking?"

I said that I had the impression that surface cautery was a longer
healing time and that submucous preserved the cilia and was less
healing time.  So I just want to know how you are doing the procedure.

He said I can do under the surface, without doing the surface, but it
will change the surface evenso.

So, I am feeling like this Dr. is not the best to see.  He doesnt
handle questions very well.  Almost acts intimidated.  I am so tired
tho, of going from dr. to dr.  He is the only one so far that will try
cautery first without doing a septoplasy, (every other dr wants to do
both)which I dont feel I really need.  Or at least will be able to tell
if this doesnt help.....

Should I be worried?  I just dont want to end up worse.  That would be
unbearable.
