Some Doctors are Mean :( (Not you Brandon C.)

Recommended Posts

So I go to see an orthopedic guy today.

I've had a broken ankle for seven days - I've walked around on it all week without serious pain. There was pain, but I wasn't taking it seriously. He told me I have two fractures. Both of which are not affected by the weigh bearing aspects of walking - good news right?

Well, there is a third - "suspicious line" on my x-ray. He said that it might be something that could turn into a fracture if I continue to walk around without a cast. So, he stuck an aircast boot thing on me.

Now, my ankle hurts like hell. Grrrrrrr....

and orthopods aren't really doctors. they are more like carpenters.



Isn't this the truth. The plate and 10 screws in my left heel look like a damn menagerie of scaffolding on the outside of a building.

But, the heel works like a charm, so I'm happy!

Some surgeons are electricians. Some are carpenters. But are ANY of them *real* doctors????

You're welcome Brandon.

I learned something very important today.

Don't walk normally when you have a broken ankle. If you do, the doctor will not give you any pain killers. He'll recommended three advil, three times a day. That's it.

I might need to start acting wimpy.

In defense of Brandon, he was an awesome roommate, and a great horney gorilla partner. He didn't get me drunk and nekid, but what the heck, maybe next time :)



Oh, he doesn't need defending - he seems like he can take care of himself. Besides, we're just making fun of him anyways. B|

You obviously weren't sleeping with him (not with him, in the same team room). He and Gru were hysterical. I'd go to sleep but then wake up listening to their hysteriacally funny stories, and Gru always had it on his laptop to show you stuff. They were too funny :P. I love those guys :)

Glad it was obvious. B| I'm sure he was funny, but it doesn't discount anything anyone here said. :P
