Northwest Indiana Gun Owners # 25 good morning all.

[marvin02]

Went to my ortho doc to talk about my knee-leg situation. Told him that I was in the ER yesterday morning with EXCRUTIATING pain in my left knee and lower leg. Told him that the ultrasound showed a fairly large Baker's Cyst (sac behind the knee filled with synovial fluid). Asked if he had any ideas. He said well, no bones are broken, and Baker's Cysts can rupture, but If that had happened, "You would have felt that because it hurts like hell."

. . .

Do I have to play the girl card and cry? At least I have a probable cause now for the pain.

I bet you paid a lot for the shared wisdom.

I don't get it - is he saying your cyst didn't rupture? or that it doesn't hurt like hell?

$40 copay plus about $3 for the injections. Plus $250 for the MRI he was going to order anyway for that knee.

My take is that my "excruciating" did not qualify as "hurts like hell", so in his mind, it did not happen.

Some people need to be slapped and shaken vigorously to get their ears to work right. Maybe nobody had fixed him yet that day.

My experience with cysts and the doctor is the excruciating description conversation gets the removal vs it hurts get the wait and see answer.

Looks like a quiet rainy day today.

 

[Ballstater98]

I'm waiting for folks at the Windy City Smokout to complain about the Candian smoke.

 

[nonobaddog]

Actually the air over Illinois and Indiana looks great right now but in a couple days you could be getting the crap we have. So they just might get the canadian contribution before they are done.

I think there is the (conscious or unconscious) impression that females tend to exaggerate.

Surely you're just exaggerating.
