So it appears that the only way to be seen right away is to call 911, get an ambulance, go to ER, and then be seen by surgeon..... Up at 0400 with the pain. Why is this so difficult in America today?

Hahaha - wait until we become a socialized country ; )
Doctor: "Your appointment will be in ten years from today"
Patient: "Morning or afternoon?"
Doctor: "What difference does it make?"
Patient: "Because the plumber is coming in the afternoon?" |

I would gladly get up from this chair and drive to surgery this very minute. No problem. But I am being told first opening is March 28th..... And that is just in the office! Who knows how long before scheduling surgery... I am dead in the water.
Going to call more surgeons tmw.

If you have a doc you usually see I’d talk to him and ask him for help.
Sort of like the homeowner looking for a plumber goes to his GC
Worked for me, but my brother is a doc. That helps too.

Skip the Oxy. Not worth the risk.
When I blew out my knee I did it without hard drugs. Get what you can get which is not narcotic / opiate. |
