Oh Wendy - what a turn up. Far too many of them just 'won't' listen. Seems prevelant the whole world over. Maddening and saddening. The continual is wearysome, depletes one of all energy and all too often the willingness to just 'go on'.
First off I'd put together a report and get it to them, each and every one. Might just help a future patient from being at the brunt end of their ignorance, sheer arrogance and bombast. Too many of us here have been severely bruised and abused by the incompetence.
I'd also put in a complaint/report to your national health service. Again, to help other patients - medical schools need the wake call to get their instructional teaching act together. Ggggrrrrr.
TG you have a good orthopod. The best of everything for this Wendy. And hope you can get the pain levels under control.
Take care -
