Orthopedic doctor said come back 4 weeks after fracture
About this episode
Yesterday, I went to an appointment with a friend who had an appointment with an orthopedist.
She had 3 fractures. She wanted to know what she could do in terms of activity while she's healing and recovering from these different injuries.
I just went with her, not as her physician, but to serve as a friend and advocate for her at her appointment. This episode is going to explain why you really need to take an advocate with you to any doctor's appointment.
I went to an orthopedic appointment yesterday and they told me to come back in four weeks. What do I do now?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
