Comment on RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted

Setting up an MRI and interpreting the images yourself is obviously impossible, but I did work in a related field so it wasn’t just guesswork either. Do you think any of the doctors I met gave a shit about my thoughts on the matter regardless?

Yes. Since I was raised around medical people. Most get into the profession because they like helping people.

I’ve been a nurse for over a decade and I disagree strongly. Way too many of the doctors I’ve had to do with both outside and inside my work have been overworked, arrogant or simply too jaded to do their work properly.
There have been exceptions, of course. I survived both surgeries, after all. Maybe I could have avoided having to learn how to walk again if someone had listened a bit earlier. Maybe not.
