Jeannierides update

Yeah, I had something like this happen to me.
The Orthopedic Surgeon delivered me a similar speech - casually, over his shoulder, half inside and half outside the curtain around my bed in the ER.
I was furious! There were a few people there incl SO and a friend who is a very senior nurse at the hospital. In this really deep, projected tone of voice (which you get when you are real determined) I said. "Wait a minute! You don't know me. I'll show you, I'll show you, I'll show you" And my nurse friend said to this guy, "She is something special . Watch out"
And show him I did.
Go for it Jeannie! They don't predict the future!

Btw, I heard a few months later he was using me as an example of patient motivation in his rounds. A couple of years later I had to see him about complications with the metallica and he invited *all* the ER doctors on duty to see the old x-rays and the "outcome" (i.e. me!)
