you keep telling him the the treatment isn't working and he ignores you.

For over a year I was getting treatment for patellar tendonitis. I wasn't getting any better and the worker's comp insurance closed the case! Finally I contested it and they agreed to spring for an MRI.

The MRI findings: No evidence of patellar tendonitis... It is an Osteochondral Lesion!!!

Bastards!

For about two years, long before the knee incident, I was having problems breathing. I Kept telling them that it wasn't asthma, but they kept giving me an inhaler and sending me on my way. Finally, after I thought I was having a heart attack I saw a specialist. After Two or Three visits, we found out that it was...Anxiety!

Lessons learned:

1) There are more Bad doctors out there than good.
2) IF the treatment isn't working and they won't help you, find another doctor- but be prepared to be disappointed again (and again) (and again)
3) They always find the answers right away on tv shows, in real life people aren't so lucky.
4) Lawyers are just as bad if not worse than doctors.
