After just a couple of minutes the first doctor determined he wasn’t going to get anywhere and so sent me for an MRI.
Then he merely read the radiographers report in front of me.
The second doctor gave me his diagnosis over the phone but it was the exact same as the first doctor so I wonder if he was merely reading from the radiographer’s report too.
Despite me having stabbing pains just yesterday the consultant declared me absolutely fine within 3 minutes of entering his office.
But the physio is where I placed my faith because he actually took the time to examine me and dig into the root of my problem.
With the others it felt like I was on a conveyor belt.
But with the physio and his rigorous testing, experimenting and quizzing he earned my trust.
What’s more he gave me a more nuanced diagnosis than all the rest of them.
I think the best served to solve the problem are those who take the time to comprehensively understand the problem first.
