If you REALLY need one ,try to find one with a resemblance to a Homo Sapiens and with a spark of empathy. Most treat the Xrays rather than the patient. After extensive orthopaedic surgery I mentioned to my surgeon ,whose resident I had been in a previous life, that the after effect of this operation was instant middle age. His response ." I'm not interested in the psychological aspects of orthopaedics". He can not recognize me at social occasions despite,as I said , my having served as a resident on his unit.<br /><br />Thankfully you have people going in to bat for you.OzDocnoreply@blogger.com
