How do you deal with finding out the Ortho made a mistake?

Now Folks,
You tell me, (this is not a test),
just off the top of yer head, which of these DX's would you expect an Ortho to be able to diagnose within that first month or so,, When he sends your for tests, XRays, MRI's, CTScans, and etc...
Which ones of those that I've listed, would expect an "Ortho" to Diagnose, from those "Tests"?

Another Question....

Which, would you expect him to order MORE test from?
Of those not so "Crisply Ordered?"
Or,
would yours, just put it in your file,
and "Let it sit" GRrrrrrr!!


My love for now.....

Pete

Default Hi Pete,
It's good that you have a good Ortho. that has diagnosed all of these issues and helps you with them. My PCP does that but as far as the Ortho's around here, they do good to diagnose that you were in their office much less what is wrong with you. I do have a good Ortho that did my second rotator cuff surgery and did great but as far as diagnosing other things. I doubt it.

My smartest Drs. that I have had was a hand surgeon that seemed to know about everything, he's retired and my PCP that what he doesn't know, he'll learn. 2 out of over 50. Not bad, huh. LOL

I like my TOS surgeon, he's retired now but he was great with TOS. That was his speciality. I like my hand surgeon I have now. Again though he only has the speciality of knowing hands.

We are very lucky when we find a Dr. that is diversified and willing to learn and willing to help us with anything going on but they sure don't grow on trees.

Ada

Having expressed my inciting CRPS event as being surigcally-related to several ortho's I know, the response back was "if the CRPS followed surgery, it more than likely (but not conclusively) was related to a screw-up."

I tend to agree...

Never give up.

(think high school - 4 years - a significant experience, yes. But now equal to only 8% of my total life).

I pray that you are feeling relief from your lesions all the time. Your posting had a big impact on me and likely many others too, I am so sorry that your feelings were hurt that we didn't respond. I truly hope you are feeling better.

Peace and love, XOXOX Sandy
