Reiterations
So I don't mind going through the motions for what needs to be done with the shoulder situation but I do hate it when people #1 treat me like I have no knowledge of whats going on with my body, #2 don't at my chart before asking questions I have already answered, and #3 don't really bring up options or what to expect unless I ask about it.
So today I met with the shoulder specialist at Zion (the Kaiser facility). And my doctor wasn't bad or ignorant or anything like that. It just sucks to be asked "Is this your first dislocation?" when it's apparant if you take all of 5 seconds to review my chart that it is NOT my first dislocation and that I have in fact had surgery on this arm. After explaining this I still get treated like I don't understand what's going on with my body. It's like hello sir I'm the one who came in and who is following through on making sure I get the correct medical attention because your stupid system of going to physical therapy didn't even have a chance in hell of being helpful until after my last operation. To review that is 1 time out of what is now 12 tramatic dislcations that physical therapy even seemed to help, and now it's apparant that shit was not done right in the first place so physical therapy was helpful but all that work doesn't matter anymore.
If you're gonna say something like "Once we get the MRI back we will determine if it's worth doing surgery." Worth it for who? Maybe its not worth the 3 hours it will take you to help me perhaps be more comfortable for the rest of my life. But for me a chance is always "worth it." Thanks for the enthusiasm, and the optimism. Obviously if I'm comming in for pain I want something done. Don't fucking send me to phyical therapy in hopes that lifting weights will distract me from the fact that such treatment won't make my ligaments any tighter or stronger. It might make the muscles around them tighter and stronger but don't think I don't know that you are using that as a ploy to get me out of your hair. I'm not even 21 yet, I already have arthritus you try living with a reoccuring painful problem fuckface then we will talk.
UGH I WANT A NEW SHOULDER!
