Default Some of the stupidist things your doctor has said?

My last visit with a neurologist ended with him saying that just because I simply have pain is no reason for surgery...........

The only NS I was able to get in to see told me I was not a car and couldn't just go around getting spare parts put in when I asked about ADR. He stumbled around for a few minutes when I reminded him about hip and knee replacements, and said finally that he 'supposed that there has been slight success in that area lately'

Next???
