- PeterMay, 03 2018★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆At 6 am I went to the ER at this hospital with a dislocated shoulder with maximum pain. not able to move my arm. the doctor came out groggy and had appeared to have been sleeping. he seemed upset that he had to be woken. He feels around my shoulder. calls for a x-ray.
15 mins later the x-ray tech comes and wants me to palm up my hand while I'm screaming in pain as he attempts to adjust my arm for the x-ray. he starts chuckling or laughing. In bewilderment I asked what are you laughing at. he says ,"you dont want to know" as if i should man up is what Im assuming he meant by that. but takes the x-ray.
30 mins later the doctor comes and tells me "apparently your shoulder is back in place" asks if I wanted a shot "ok" , and gives me a sling ,tells me not to move it. meanwhile it cannot be put into words the amount of pain I was in with any slight movement of my arm. refers me to an orthopedist in hialeah(10 miles away) before I left I asked if he was sure it wasn't still dislocated. of course he said yes he's sure. I left without argument because my assumption was he must know what he's talking about and maybe extreme swelling was causing this pain and inability to move my arm
well to cut this short I eventually got an appointment at 1:45pm with a orthopedist at Miami Orthopedics & sports medicine in Coral Gables later that day. they took x-rays of both shoulders to compare. still cannot move my arm and pain has gotten worse by this point 8 hours later. The Doctor walks in tells me my shoulder is dislocated(posterior). explains the x-rays , walks toward me grabs under my arm and pulls my shoulder back into place. I literally cried with tears of relief and joy. tells me I must be tough to be walking around that long with that dislocation. Not like I had a choice though. Good doctors like him are the true heroes of this planet imo. I thank him for (literally) pulling me out of hell
I would think to most doctors a shoulder dislocation is obvious. While I understand the doctor at westchester general is not an Orthopedist and apparently cannot read x-rays properly. to discharge me like that when in hindsight it was obvious my shoulder was dislocated is just unreal to me
