I was treated in a condescending manner. I have had 4 concussions, a TBI, and have ADHD. When I asked the doctor a question, his response was “I just spent 5 minutes explaining this”…I asked about the pain in the back part of my knee, and he said “that’s part of your hamstring”…He didn’t really make any recommendations for treatment. He said here’s your options and left it up to me to decide. He didn’t even numb/freeze my knee entirely for the injection in my right knee. He gave me a referral for PT, and said do what you want, it’s only a piece of paper.
