So Much for the Wisdom of Crowds

Posted by Mike DeBonis on Feb. 27, 2008 at 1:22 pm

In re my fucked-up leg:

Professional Diagnosis: egg-sized hematoma

Suggested Treatment: elevate leg, stay off leg, hot compress four times daily

(Treatment Already Underway Before Doc Visit: elevate leg, stay off leg, occasional hot compress)

Cost: $40 ($20 for doc visit; $20 for just-in-case X-ray)

I'm never consulting you people about my health again!
