NO WAY! That is a kick....sad, but still funny :) Doctors make me nervous! Fortunatley, you liked the original sugeon you had, so hopefully you'll be able to go back to him? Hang in there girl. Doctors can't know everything! Why do you think the drug companies have to advertise these days? There just is too much for any of the docotrs, expert in the field or not, to learn.

Today I saw a doctor who told me there was probably a typing error in my records and it should actually say Carpal instead of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Turned out she had never heard of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome! OK maybe it's not as common as Carpal & a GP can't be expected to know everything but a typo in my records? ROTFLMAO :-D

: The Flextend saga came to mind from a while back. Someone said they worked with doctors & none of them have heard of Flextend so the product couldn't be any good. If that doc today is an example to go by, is it any wonder they never heard of Flextend? LOL

: The way I see it is, doctors are like car mechanics, except they fix humans. Sometimes we expect them to have all the answers but the reality is that it's unreasonable to expect them to know everything.

: My trip to the doc made me laugh though. Just hope the surgeon has more knowledge!! LOL
