So what else is new?

I agree ... check your insurance coverage. When I fractured my foot in two places, my regular physician missed it on his x-ray. It was after 3 months of constant pain that I finally was referred to an orthopedic. He put me in a cast for a couple of months and STILL ended up referring me further to an orthopedic SURGEON! I had surgery and all of this together kept me off of my foot and in a cast for a YEAR!!!

Hugs and gentle rubbies for your foot!

We went to the emergency room that night. I was later told if I had not, I would have paid 20 percent of the bill and operation that came at a later date.. I would go. This is NOT a cold or something- the general agreement is you are checking if you broke a bone..
