Re: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR LIVING?

gt, I think you have a wrong perspective of what has gone on here. I never seriously felt like sueing anybody. I have lost so much money and so much of my life in terms of doing what I love how I love, but sueing, no. You seem to feel that I am trying to blame somebody with every post!

Didn't it occur to you to see a GP after the second dislocation?

Yes, yes, blah blah, of course I did, and a specialised pysio, but let me tell you, i NOW know how important it is to get the BEST advice at ALL times even if you have to pay for it, and if further suspicions, see a surgeon.

Neither of the previous (GP, Physio, specialists at Hornsby hospital) could pick the ACL properly, they were just suspicious (or negative). My physio checked me like EVERY WEEK for a long time. One visit to the surgeon and he could tell... like HOW MANY people do I need to ask huh? 4? 8? 56? Where do you draw the line and say, "Consistent testimony = reliable advice".

Thanks for your comments anyway, appreciated. It's not new, but it is not bad either. Smile

At all times did I seek my doctor's advice and follow it, why? Because I am not a doctor, as you so rightly stated, and thankfully too. It is a big burden to be entrusted with people's livelyhood.

I suggest you seek wide medical advice (get a lot of information) and respect it.

I have and do mate Smile

You have no idea. no idea....

Stop blaming the system

At no time have I blamed the system. Yes there were a series of PEOPLE who were wrong who gave me bad advice along the way which has caused me to forfeit a lot of well-being for my life. Yes it is clear that because of the way the system works I have been unable to receive treatment as I needed it. but is a mecahnism at fault? comeon.. do you sue your car when it breaks down? The rules of the system are sometimes hard to follow, but if you are careful then you can make your way around. Now the bad advice I received resulted in a disqualification from the system for a period when it was most needed.

There have also been some incidents of bad timing where policies overlapped with incorrect diagnosis, but what can I do? nada

I don't feel like sueing anybody, it just sux, you know. I am not insulting your profession or anything. There are a lot of people in it covering their asses though. People make mistakes mate, and boy am I irritated about them, it just so happens that the medical profession has been entrusted with a lot of responsibility, the lives of those who fund it, and despite everything, they messed up. (surely you can empathise with the possibility that a human may make a mistake, sad as it is)

I am sad about all that, but in reagards to my responses to them, I have a clear conscience. I have worked harder than anybody to give myself a chance to be strong and fit in my knee again. But nothing is certain in life mate. I could die tomorrow, and then where would this little 'discussion' be? as Gandalf says, "All we have to do is to decide with the time that is given to us".

I agree, and you wont' see me lying down in despair or apportioning blame for the sake of it. I am going to work my butt of to try for an awesome tomorrow, and if I an knocked back by bad doctors or legalistic health systems, ok, I will get up and try again.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosvelt

That is how I wanna live my life. I am sick of defending my position. Your medical degree and all is great, power to you, but unless you know everything then you too, will one day dish out a wrong diagnosis, and that will be tough for the person on the receiving end.

You know you are not perfect, and lucky for you, I don't expect you to be (or anyone in your profession). It just hurts when they aren't.
