I never forgot! Didn’t have insurance that would make Healthcare cheap enough for me for 15 years. Just paid the fine for not having access.
Got looked at with the help of workers comp when I tore muscles in my lower back doing tree work. The physician said there was no weakness, no “foot drop”. I’m not a small person - i tried to convey that some of my lower body was at 60%.
Made me feel like a drug seeker. He prescribed oxycontin and sent me on my way. Gave half to a buddy that I didn’t think would get addicted as easily as I would.
That was when I started to realize that all of the education and training didn’t necessarily make all doctors smarter. There are certainly good doctors as well.
I’m thankful for the internet and whatever amount of critical thinking I’ve gained over the years.
