i have one of those private health care thingies
where you can jump the queue and get things done privately. I only qulified because i lied about my pre-existing injury. Pilpsuk banged his knee on a table - I told everyone it was a Hockey injury until i was asked what position i played and i have never seen a game in my life. i digress.

Jippy LEFT knee. xrays, MRI scan, months of physio - nack all effect. in fact, it got worse.

sent off to the consultant for my pre-op.
DR "There isnt anything wrong with your RIGHT knee, its fine"
pilpsuk "er, i know. Its my LEFT knee"
DR "no, look, thats a right knee" pointing to the scan x-ray
pilpsuk "ill take your word for it"
DR "so, why have your right knee scanned when you didnt need to"
pilpsuk "i would have noticed putting the wrong leg in a fuck-off machine and be blasted with white noise for 30 minutes"
DR "are you sure?"
pilpsuk "its someone elses knee isnt it?"
DR "maybe"

so for the past year i have been having physio for something that is wrong with someone else's knee...and it made my knee worse.

I should have stuck with the NHS
