After all these years, I finally have a doctor with perfect penmanship, evidenced when she completed my application for a disability parking placard.
I had a specialist for my wife's eye condition. His wife ran the office and always wanted her to pay the bill upfront. Claiming the insurance wouldn't cover it. I phoned the insurance company and they paid all of them. When I said I'd like to report fraud, they said what fraud, we have no problem with them. They didn't try to cheat them. After I didn't need him years later, I took a personal interest in making his life miserable. I won, and a few days later his wife was not allowed back in the office.

Damn!!! So true in today's field of medicine. If ya ain't mega-rich and have the best facility available, today's healthcare sorts, are a Taco short of a Combo Plate when it comes to diagnosis and treatment. Surprised no X-ray or even a Tetanus Shot was administered. Plus if the patient isn't proactive in their own situation when it comes to fixing and helping them, in what they are experiencing, sometimes things are left untreated or diagnosed. Glad they finally got it fixed right and hope that your Friend will recover from all this. Still just boggles the mind these days...cr8crshr/Bill 
All I know is doctors didn't drive a Prius or Sonata when I was growing up. I wonder what happened to change that? It seems as if somebody figured out a way to relieve private doctors of a good portion of their rightful earnings and give it to an ever tightening pool of providers (bureaucrats) at the same time. F'n stroke of genius!
Ps. I found a doc who doesn't accept insurance but offers help recouping costs from my insurance provider. Old school, no BS. Calls at the end of his day to discuss my visits/results. Sometimes at 10pm. Freaked my wife out the first time, she picked up and thought he was calling with bad news. Just the kind of attention I was looking for. They know ME, not just my chart. Most heartening is that he (and his 2 like minded co-practitioners) have built their practice so they will be able to continue providing this level of care for future patients. Its not cheap but I don't mind spending less money watching after my heart than I do on Mag500's and BFG's.

That must be a wooden branch that didn't show up in the X-Rays.
I had a Doctor who didn't understand the difference between looking and touching....as evidenced by my first digital prostate exam.
She said she just wanted to have a look....
nek minute her wristwatch is chafing my colon.
My guess is that there were no X rays taken.That must be a wooden branch that didn't show up in the X-Rays.
Our GP for years was Dr. Woo. A cute little Chinese gal. She would snap the glove and say "you like Dr Woo. She have little fingers"I had a Doctor who didn't understand the difference between looking and touching....as evidenced by my first digital prostate exam.

What caused the problem? Dumb *** fell off the ladder. Things went south after that.
It wasn't the fall that hurt him, it was the sudden stop at the end.
Mine had fingers like pork chops.Our GP for years was Dr. Woo. A cute little Chinese gal. She would snap the glove and say "you like Dr Woo. She have little fingers"
The German Doctor who did my second one said after he had finished...."I only vish my fingers were longer"
I told him I thought they were long enough!

Damn that nucken' futs
it's like the DEI hires all over, not the best qualified people
not even in the Hospitals their doctors or nurses,
the 1 other place, other than #1 the military
you don't need to check the DEI boxes, that stuff needs to end & end it now
you need the most qualified people...
Hope the workload gets done & not too much hassle for you
good luck

Yep **** happens sometimes… But that said what happened after getting medical help should of never happened.
They had the wound OPEN and cleaned it out or so they thought… Just crazy.That must be a wooden branch that didn't show up in the X-Rays.
The Doctor examining must be short-sighted to have missed a chunk of tree that size.
The watch was supposed to be the limiter!!!I had a Doctor who didn't understand the difference between looking and touching....as evidenced by my first digital prostate exam.
