So much truth. I had to help a doctor put a trampoline together once. Even with the instructions, he couldn't get it right.... It was sad.
I feel a need to try and top you on this. Some doctors seem to become clueless when it comes to medical issues as well. 2 examples.
During my time with the NSP I had two experiences with doctors that made me wonder if they were insane or just retarded.
The first incident happened in front of the area I worked at, it had a interstate type highway with grade intersections. A toyota corolla pulled out in front of a F150 that was traveling about 70mph. Unlucky for us a doctor happened to stop and help. After we got the driver out of her corolla and onto a backboard it was time to strap her onto it. Everything went smooth aside from her left leg. The doctor kept trying to force her leg straight in order to secure her better. He failed to take into consideration the fact that she would scream louder every time he tried to straighten her leg. He also failed to notice the large and bloody hole in her jeans about 6" above her knee joint. We had words after she left in the helicopter to say the least.
Experience #2.
I separated my shoulder while skiing. Went to the hospital after my shift ended and got some xrays taken. Then more xrays. Then xrays of me holding a bucket of sand with my injured arm. Every xray photo taken showed an obvious difference between my right and left collarbone. One side it was flush with the rest of my shoulder, on the other it was obviously above the rest of my shoulder. He showed my coworker and I the xrays eventually while trying to explain that he couldn't see anything wrong. He was quite embarrassed when we both pointed to the problem as soon as he held up the first xray.
That was definitely $500 well spent (sarcasm).
