I have an interesting situation going on with my new doctor. Recently I was looking for a new doctor in the area because I wanted to have something checked out and I wanted to be referred to an allergist (food allergies). I picked out a local guy and set up an appointment. When I got there for the first appointment, he was in a rush and said he had to "make this quick" because he was running late. What exactly am I paying him for, my health or his schedule? Anyway - he scheduled me for some tests and referred me to an allergist. I also wanted to have my wrist checked out because it was giving me pain, but for some reason I let that wait until my next appointment with him since he was in a rush, and I had to come back to get my unrelated test results anyway. So when I came back, he tried to tell me that everything was fine with the issue that I had tests for, actually made me feel as if it was my fault for it becoming an issue. I was very skeptical of this. Anyway - I also had him look at my wrist and schedule me for an x-ray. This was more of a test of him...I was having pain in my wrist and I knew exactly why. I broke it twice - once about 15 years ago and again about 4 years ago. Neither time was it fixed. I didn't know that I broke it the first time until I had an x-ray done 4 years ago when I broke it the second time. That doctor found scar tissue building up in my wrist. The second time I broke it was pretty bad, but I was in a hard time and didn't have medical insurance so I never got it fixed. So basically, I knew my wrist had been broken. I told this new doctor that I didn't really know if I had ever broken it before, but I lost range of motion in it and it was giving me pain recently while doing push ups (which of course were both true). I just got the letter in the mail from him regarding his x-ray. He told me it was fine! Is this malpractice? I know I have a problem with my wrist. It's been broken twice, never fixed, and there has been scar tissue building up for 15 years. Either he doesn't know how to read an x-ray (doubtful) or he is lying to me. Advice?
