    "Yes, I wanted to get my hip done and two doctors did not confer with themselves. Dr. Cook or Dr. Brandon did not confer with each other and they should have conferred with each other. Now I'm stuck not getting my hip operated on for another three months. So I was very disappointed before the shot was given. So that's the information I'll give to you. Have a good day. Thank you. Bye."
