I banged my hand once and couldn't move my finger so I went into the emergency room at a hospital in Ontario. I didn't really hurt but I couldn't move the distal phalanx. There was a female emergency room physician on duty. She ordered x-rays then started prodding my finger and squishing it. All of a sudden a shooting, intense pain shot through my whole arm. She looked kind of puzzled and kept poking away at my finger. Then she got the x-rays and jumped back in surprise and withdrew both her hands right away. I ended up needing surgery to repair the tendon in my finger and they had to cut open my whole finger and put in a titanium screw. The women doctor screwed up big time. She shouldn't have started playing with my finger until she saw the x-ray. She caused me further injury.

Then 2 days after the surgery I get called into the hospital. This 30 something female surgeon comes bounding and giggling into the examination room and starts taking off my bandages and then in a goofy sing-song voice says "I don't know what I'm doing". I just snapped at her and shouted. "What the hell do you mean you don't know what you're doing!". She ran out of the room and this middle aged nurse comes into the room and with a scowl on her house tells me to leave the room. Neither one would put the bandages back on. Finally they got a hold of the head surgeon. It was an administrative error. They had scheduled my for the pre-surgery consolation again. Legally the female surgeon committed a criminal offence but nothing ever happened to her.
