“I had a previous CT scan done and told it was negative for injury. However, Dr Rand pointed out the apparent bulging disk. This is import ant because it gave me a false impression that I needed no further medical assistance. Dr Rand prescribed the medications I needed, the MRI prescription, and urged me to see an orthopedic surgeon asap because this was a serious injury that needed to be cared for quickly. ”
