Title: How good is your Doctor ? Post by: Gary Clarke on July 25, 2010, 11,06:13 AM Injured myself at work 4 x weeks ago,
I was on a metal lathe removing a tight colet chuck, when it let go my arm hit a drill in the tail stock, went to the local GP who sent me off for an ultrasound, his verdict "it was just a flesh wound ". 4 x weeks later it still hurts, got a magnet off the fridge and put it on my wrist, it stuck there !, had x rays done on Saturday broken drill is still in my arm, will hopefully have surgery this week to remove it. Hope the pics have come out OK Cheers, Gary C Title: Re: How good is your Doctor ? Post by: james c on July 25, 2010, 11,19:49 AM is the drill in the bone or did it miss it?
you know your gp is there to print a doctors certificate. Title: Re: How good is your Doctor ? Post by: Gary Clarke on July 25, 2010, 11,29:56 AM It has just skimmed off the side of the bone and is stuck in the flesh between them.

I think they are overworked, but when you know that something is wrong, you want them to do more than pat you on the head and say it will be allright! Title: Re: How good is your Doctor ?

And how good they charged the first time now they get to charge for fixing there mistakes, awsome isnt it. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( WillI was on a metal lathe removing a tight colet chuck, when it let go my arm hit a drill in the tail stock, went to the local GP who sent me off for an ultrasound, his verdict "it was just a flesh wound ". 4 x weeks later it still hurts, got a magnet off the fridge and put it on my wrist, it stuck there !, had x rays done on Saturday broken drill is still in my arm, will hopefully have surgery this week to remove it.
