6 1/2 years after hospitalization for low back pain 364 patients answered a questionnaire on their opinion of the help they had received. 53.5% were satisfied with the help and support provided by their general practitioner and 78.7% were satisfied with the hospital treatment. We discuss possible reasons for this difference. It seems difficult for many patients to accept the conservative treatment prescribed by the general practitioner.
