Little that can be done, yes. Nothing that can be done, no. A little more diagnosis than a single x-ray would've been nice.

And I'm a long way from middle aged, which is why I've had so many run-in's with my GP surgery, I want treatment of something now, before it becomes untreatable and I need something as drastic as a total knee replacement, that I wouldn't get for another 30 years.

I'm basically waiting until I'm more flush, then I'm off down the closest private clinic to get myself fixed.

Saved my life and my Mum's life vs. unable to fix soft tissue?

This is what I thought
It's hardly a fair set of comparisons is it.

I fail to understand what a classic atypical appendicitis is.

If it's atypical it can't be classic

There was no scoring implied, merely successful vs. unsuccessful experiences.

Granted, the whole life saving thing was a bit better than the others.

And I went 50/50 on a very bleary memory for the classic atypical appendicitis, I guess I picked the wrong 50, either that, or it would explain the poor diagnosis.
