After being totally pissed off and miserable for a few days, finally time to revisit the doctor..Husband in a frenzy cos we were kept waiting so long..it is outrageous how unprofessional and disorganized are the specialist and his staff. "Yes you need a CT scan".."no you need an xray ".."no you need neither"..wait 2 hours ..to see the arrogant, loud, orthopod for 5 minutes..who says I need an xray ..by this time hubby has had to leave the building he is seething.
so I go back down stairs to get an xray, 2.5 hours after we had arrived.
Meanwhile in the x ray waiting room, a sad, skinny , tearful 40 something woman asks me politely about my leg ..I whinge and complain..and she quietly says " Yep , Ive had some difficult health issues this year"..turns out she has after 10 year remission following ovarian cancer, now it has reappeared in pancreas, bones and brain..Her fiancee of 3 years left 3 months ago , cos he couldnt handle it..tears welled in her eyes.."Ive been crying all day". she said Usually I make an effort to dress up and put on makeup for appts ...today I couldnt be bothered"
I felt so sad for her and ashamed of myself. My broken leg is nothing..
