Doctors are idiots

[TCO]

I am pretty sure that I "got it right". But this doc was also saying things like "have a bursa" when he should have said "have a damaged bursa" or "have bursitis". So who knows what the heck he was doing/saying? I got enough warning signs (there were others) to question this guys capabilities.

I mean, heck aggravated knee injuries are simple in some people's minds, but when you really dig into it, they are complex. I want a real expert.

FYI: I see how my comment about the doc could be confusing.

FYI: I am trying to be a model patient. I actually typed up a description of my injuries. And I prioritized them and wrote them up with an effort to be p[recise and organised (executive communication). I also had my previous films with me and such. I can do more here. From now on, I'm just going to keep my own record. (SOme other docs, I had seen, I didn't have their notes).

If you were a model patient you'd stop whining and obsessing and go ahead and get well!

[TCO]

Oh...and what's your opinion. Should we call it a patellar tendon or a patellar ligament? Do you consider the patella a bone in its own right or a sesamoid floating in a really big tendon.

And why?

[TCO]

I know what a gaddamn sesamoid is know. I love how they have terms like sesamoid and anterior and inferior and all that. I'm on to their games. I'm using that dictionary to hunt them down.

I tried shutting up and just getting better and it didn't work. Now we are going to do it my way. The nuclear way.

This thread reminded me why I became a molecular biologist and not a physician.

I would probably have ended up giving half of my patients thallium

IT is a struggle to read stuff. And they really need MORE pictures.

I just got back from MCV. Bought a friend of the library card for $50 and checked out several books. Next time, I see a doc, I'm going in loaded for bear.

[TCO]

With the Library card, I can check out books from the entire campus library just like a student. Umm...and there are a bunch of cute nurses and med students there...hmmm...
