i don't trust doctors anymore
2 weeks ago, i fell and fractured my arm. i know because i went to the hospital and did an x-ray and the doctor said "there is a slight fracture." she also asked me if i fractured my arm before, and i told her it was the other one.
today, i went back to do more stuff to it.
first, i waited for my turn. after about 15 minutes, it was me. i walked into the room and was immediately sent away to have my splint removed.
so i went there and waited for 5 minutes, then i went in and sat on a bed for another 5 minutes. a nurse came and cut away the stuff, and i waited again for a doctor to look at me.
he came, took a look, and went away for yet another 5 minutes, after which he returned with another doctor, who i think is a noob. the noob and pro looked at me for another moment and made their diagnosis before disappearing and talking among themselves.
he said the records show i fractured my arm before, and i told him it was the other one.
by now, i've been sitting on that bed for about 15 minutes. another 5 minutes later, a cute nurse came and asked me to sit on a chair so that someone else can use the bed. so i sat on the chair for another while, before a nurse came and told me to go somewhere else to fix my arm.
great stuff, considering the whole process could be done in 5 minutes, minus all the chatter and unnecessary waiting. now we know why there is always such a long wait.
so so so i went to the other place to fix my poor arm. the new doctor asked me if i fractured my arm before, and i said yes. then she said that my current problem is caused by my old fracture, because i didn't go for therapy.
then i told her it's the other arm, and she said "oh, ok." another pro doctor came and asked me where is the fracture, and i told him it was the lower bone, but he said that i broke both bones in my arm. he then went to check with the previous doctor, and came to the conclusion that it's only a strain.
then the doctor made me a brace covering only my forearm, although the previous one said that my elbow should be immobilised, for some reason yet unknown.
in conclusion, i've had 4 different diagnosis from 4 doctors, 2 different treatment methods, and waited aimlessly while the doctors had some friendly conversation. this is fun. and i just wasted your time.
