And that's a reason why I could never be a doctor.

Don't do both! Or else you will want to die! I've looked into being scoped myself. To me I'd rather live with arthritis, that flairs up and a knee that will go out. Then not to be told it will or will not fix the issue. Know one will give me 100% assurance it will be good as new.

Well... I'll take a chance. I'd rather not spend the rest of my life popping motrin or some other drug.

My left knee needs some ops too. Although I doubt nothing that extensive like in the animation.

complete ACL reconstruction on right knee in 1991. Counting that surgery there have been 5 on the knee and one on my left ankle. I am going to have a cool surgery in the next few years where they put back a base layer of cartilage cells that regrow over a few weeks to replace the cartilage that has degenerated or been removed.

Otherwise I am looking at a total knee replacement by the time I am 37 years old.
