MGH really pissed me off

[MAC]

As a lot of you know I had an accident at home 3 weeks ago. This led to an airlift to MGH. They fixed up the cut on my noggin and put a brace on my knee. Cat scans and xrays were done of my head and xrays done on my knee. (no MRI was done of my knee). They diagnosed my knee as a quadstrain 2 and started me on a physical therapy regimen. I was released 2 days later (even though they were trying to get rid of me a day the day before). 3 days after getting home something let go in my knee. I had been doing the PT regimen religiously. This stopped right then as it turned impossible.

A week later I went back to MGH to get the stitches out. They looked at my knee, which was still all swollen and suggested I see an orthropedic surgeon. Well HMOs' being what they are I had to get a referral. My follow up appointment with my primary care physician was 2 days later and she sent me to the orthropedic people.
This is when I found out that my quad was detached. The doctor made an appointment with an associate of his since he doesn't operate anymore. He also sent me for an MRI.

Well today I got a call from the orthropedic surgeon asking if I could come in today. (my original appointment was for this friday)
I went in and met him and we went over the MRIs. He told me the swelling was from pooled blood so he wants to go in pronto. I said fine, you are the boss. He then told me his sucess rate is 100% if done within his cut off date. ( 2 weeks or less from injury) I am at 3 weeks and 1 day but he still feels confident everything will be fine. He will drill holes in my knee pull the muscle through and tie knots. It is day surgery and lord willing I'll be home tomorrow afternoon.

The thing that busts my stones is: If Mass General had done the MRI (like my wife requested) a lot of this could have been avoided and I would have already been on the road to recovery.
