You remember the thing about the knee I posted yesterday? With the only problem being overstretched ligaments and capsules? And the yaying on it?







I might have been too fast with that. I just had a call from the surgeon who told me that the MRT practice apparently had another look at the MRT pictures again and decided that yeah, the meniscus is okay but hey... looks like the cruciate ligament is ruptured. Dear, doctors... THIS IS NOT FUNNY GODDAMMIT! So now I have to see the surgeon on Tuesday again so they can measure for a new splint. On the phone the surgeon said that the development of my symptons speaks against a rupture and for the overstretching but they want to be careful so I'll get one of those splints with joint for like... two months or something and they'll do another MRT. When I'm symptom free by that time and the MRT says everything's okay (or is as fuzzy as it was now... apparently, that stuff isn't REALLY reliable) everything will be okay. If not... arthroscopy. Yay. Or... not. Anyway, gotta go for my birthday present from [livejournal.com profile] schnelmi and [livejournal.com profile] heitidei

Yikes. What kind of bullshit malpractice are these docs doing? Is an MRT the same as an MRI? If you were here, I'd advise you to sue. But seriously, that SUCKS. Kick them hard in the kneecap for me, please.

Yep... I just always forget that you use a different acronym.

The surgeons or the MRI people? ;) Because, seriously, how can they overlook something like a ruptured ligament the first time (the MRI people, that is... the surgeons can't even look at the MRI pictures for some reason)?

All of them. And why isn't a doctor reading the MRI? They do here. Sounds fishy, like someone is doing CYA.
