57. It's hard to believe that could happen

At a pt place! I am sorry your daughter went through all of this too…

I was going for therapy for my back from the Covid pneumonia pain which never went away before I started the therapy for my knee. I decided to switch to another place which was a mistake obviously because at the first center they were all wearing good masks. Maybe I should switch back I’m not sure what to do.

That doctor is not my regular doctor I was referred to him by the doctor that treated my ankle at the same practice of doctors.. because they don’t treat knees- this is what medicine has come down to now, each orthopedic doctor seems to only treat one area of the body. I sprained my ankle about six weeks ago badly and that’s when my knee started having problems. I cannot go up and down the stairs with that leg. It was pretty unbelievable that he said this to me, he was an idiot overall though.

He tried to tell me nothing was wrong with my knee because I could move it around normally supposedly and he tried to tell me there was no fluid in my knee when I said I can feel fluid in there and you could see it was swollen. LOL But he did do an ultrasound on my knee and gave me a prescription for an MRI which I did last night. I am not going back to him though. He already said my next visit would be a video conference but I’m not gonna pay another co-pay for any of his advice, that is for sure. I actually went back to the main center of that whole clinic to complain about him but I had to go in and wait at the receptionist area there and I couldn’t be bothered waiting because they were taking forever so I just left. I asked them to refer me to another doctor there. Now I have to find another doctor for my knee because I only have about three visits left for the physical therapy I think. And I’m gonna need someone to give me another prescription for that. I already waited three weeks to see this doctor. But the ankle doctor assistant gave me a prescription for therapy for my knee.

I looked him up online and he had numerous bad reviews- before Covid so there was nothing about mask comments etc. You know it is almost unbelievable a doctor would say that to you- I couldn’t tell from his tone if he was trying to make fun of me or not. But I have been through a lot and I’ve had a lot of crazy things said to me by doctors.

When I go to doctors that are associated with this group they always send me an email to review the doctors. I almost never do it but I think I’m going to in this case.
