Wow that is horrible. So are they going to try to fix it? I know
how it is to have an uncaring doctor as well. Today I found out that
I may have torn my ACL for the second time (I had surgery 3 months
ago). When I heard the news I started crying, and in response my
doctor said, "Be quiet, people have cancer." Yea like that made me
feel any better. good luck with your problem I hope you start to
feel better.
