This is a rant and a medical story, so please just skip this if you wish.

I'm in a bit of a sad and don't want to worry SO more than I already have, but I need to get this out somehow.

Background: Short version--Knee replacement almost 2 1/2 years ago. (Long version involves Bear Bryant and a #orthopedist showing up in a tux from a wedding.)

3 months after TKR, I wasn't making progress in #PT anymore. Besides the swelling and pain, I also developed a pretty bad, consistent case of 💩 💩 💩. Doc said come back in a year. No change, came back in a year, "Come back in a year. Inflammatory markers in blood tests don't mean anything."

So, I went back this year. Doc has left the hospital and there isn't anyone else who does joint replacements here. I told the PA about all the inflammatory issues I'm having and reminded him that I told everyone I have a nickel sensitivity. There's a very expensive blood test available which tests for sensitivity to all components of the replacement.

Turns out--I am very reactive to nickel, which is in my implant. The PA got on the phone with the original, now departed, surgeon, who recommended that I see another surgeon from the city who does office hours up here a couple of times a month.

Saw this new surgeon Friday. Turns out the plastic fake meniscus is faulty and that is the least of the worries. I will have to drive/fly down to the city for a 3-phase bone scan which may/may not show the cause of the swelling in my leg and knee. He's pretty suspicious of the nickel sensitivity, and repeated "Your implant has nickel in it" at least 3 times.

The new guy can do the insert replacement but not a revision. Also, I'm looking at starting a new teaching job (not renewing my current position) and being out for 3-6 months will mess up any new contract I might sign.

Then, there is the future #GI appointment I have at the end of May, also in the city. That appointment took nearly 10 months to get scheduled.

The rant part of this--I told him I had an allergy to nickel, I knew 3 months into this that something was wrong, and no one was listening! Maybe the problem is just the insert, but the original doc should have taken the complaints more seriously--allowed me to come back in 3 or 6 months for additional follow-up. This may seriously affect me professionally and financially

@RoverStoker @WillBlackWriter There are literally MILLIONS. The number 1 cause of #bankruptcy in the US is #MedicalDebt. Ambulance services are owned by #VentureCapital firms now. The cost of a trip to the hospital in an ambulance may NOT be covered by insurance unless the company is “#InNetwork”. Consultation with a specialist (#PlasticSurgeon, #OrthopedicSurgeon, #Cardiologist, etc…) in the Emergency Room may not be covered if they are not “in network”.

Men vs. women orthopedic questions

Never had one woman patient ever asked me what the hip or knee replacement was actually made of. Like, what are the metals? And I've had plenty of men ask me this question, which I always found astonishing because I'm thinking, what are you, like a metallurgist or something? What do you care?
