Went for my 9.30 appointment with the doctor.
“What can I do for you today?”
you asked me to come in to see you, I said, about my hand
So, anyway after I explained to him I wanted results on my X-rays last week and to see him about a problem with my little finger, same hand, he looked in my records .
he finally tracked down my X-ray results - ‘wear and tear in the scaphoid, no break, and starting of arthritis. I can give you a cortisone injection and see if it helps at all”
OK, what about my little finger?
Well I can’t really do anything about that as it requires an operation to see if it will help. I could try a cortisone injection if you want?
Well I was under the impression I was called in so he could actually give me an injection in it, so I said yes do it.
So eventually I got 2 cortisone jabs, not pleasant, and a tube of cream for a patch of eczema I’ve got on my leg.
