I thought Gary had tried to tell you what was wrong with you many times, but that you INSISTED you were SANE.? ?;D

Not you, it's doctors. Many don't care, just as many don't know.? And sometimes the really good ones like to be selective for the unique and challenging (it's not as if people's health is involved, after all).? It was a revelation to me when I realized, after watching the Army doctors that made the rounds each day, that not all of them graduated at the top of their class.? Some clearly weren't even in the upper half.? Up until that point I had held doctors and truck drivers in pretty high regard.

Wonder if Lynn will chip is here with any of her insights regarding working with doctors?

What about working it backwards.? Can you get an eval from PT somewhere based on prescription from your non-specialist GP, and then ask them what doctor they would recommend, or even if they think that a doctor is necessary?? Alternately, do you know any doctors that are skiers?? Ask them who they would go to.? Doctors usually know who the good doctors in the area are, even if they are hesitant to recommend.

Re-read.? That's really sad that your primary ortho couldn't recommend who you should see.? Very Strange.? Will he write a script to P/T, or have you been that route already.
