looking for HELp for my brother

Hi, my name is Linda and I'm looking for some help,answering some ?'s about TBPI.My brother was in a motorcycle accident on 7/23/05.So its been about 2 months and we still feel in the dark. we just went on 9/12 for a emg test,and met with a surgeon on 9/19.He has no movement of his left arm, can move his shoulder alittle thats it! They said he had no avulsions from a ct myelogram which was done the same day he was released from the hospital. when the EMG
was done they said he a 1 avulsion but did not say which one.then at the surgeon's office he said he did not have any.The hospital had set up appointments with
several different dotors,A orthopaedic surgeon,and a neurosurgeon. the orthopaedic surgeon was the first one we seen.we asked about having an appointment with a neurosurgeon the following week,he said he would be willing to work with him.Next thing we knew he came back in the room and said he cancelled that appt. for us.Go figure! when asked how many cases he had seen,he could'nt even give a number, all he said was not many. that not the kind of dr. I would want working on me. He seemed to anxious, and could not give us much hope even after surgery. We live in the central shenandoah valley of virginia. Does any one know of any good Dr. anywhere.There is so much about this injury that we don't understand. If anyone could please HELP with any information it would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading the message board for about aweek now,it is a great comfort to have someone else to talk to about this. Thanks and God Bless!
