what kind of idiots?....

So that story is as follows:

As I was pogging in a disco with my bro one night, I got my nose broken and I had to remain few days in a hospital so it can be "repaired"... After the surgical manipulation the doctors said they have to broke it again, cause something went wrong... So I remained for another 4 days (the most painful days of my whole life) At last I got out of that crazy mad clinic. But after 5 days they brought me be back in to remove some parts of it, cause it would make it easier for me to breathe so I'm back there, where it all began and will remain there for 5 or 6 more days.... good that my brother is providing me with a laptop for some short seconds on the visits so I can atleast have some kind of connection to the world outside... So my question is: do you guys have to feeling sometimes, that most of the people, devoted to health are not really healing but "assembling" or "repairing" instead???

Just like in software development - some people are in it because they have a passion for the work. Others get into it because it can be a lucrative business.

Hope your nose heals up well!

Welkommen to socialized health care at its finest. ;)
Rebreaking a nose is very common, but I am surprised that they are keeping you in the hospital so long. They probably wouldn't keep you for more than a day or two here in the US. :blink:

Don’t worry your lucky!

I had a self inflicted accident once. I was carrying a heavy bag in winter and slipped on an ice surface witch was covered with snow. Due to the heavy bag I fell onto my stretched arm and popped out my shoulder. In the following two years I popped out my shoulder like twice a month for about two years. Finally, I let some doctors convince me to operate the shoulder. They made some magnetic resonance imaging (think that’s the term in English) and other controls during 3 month. In the end at the operation they did something completely different whether they told me during the 3 month of checking. If I had known what they would actually do (reshaping the bone at my shoulder) I would never have agreed to the operation...

They just like playing god and like to know better than evolution... Modern medicine is only good in viral infection and the like. But when it comes to physical harm (broken bones and such) I dare say they have no clue. You just can’t learn how to move and how the bones interfere with each other by reading a book. For that you need actual experience witch you don’t have through reading and doctors simply don’t have the time to practice enough in that regard. As for my experience with movements, I have been practicing martial arts for more than 10 years before my accident and a few years after. That’s why I think I feel the difference...

Sorry for the pains, but are you not a little too critical about them? 'Modern medicine' is totally based on observation. Millions of white mice die every year for exactly that purpose. :skull: So feel lucky you're not a mouse.

Besides, doctors have to be this way to do their jobs right. An 'emotional' doctor might have been too careful and caused you even more trouble. Or left you with a broken nose and a box of painkillers. Or maybe they pushed the bone into your brain. :surrender So maybe you're lucky... :lol:

Good healing! :yes:

I don't quite grasp the distinction between healing and repairing in your question. Often times it seems that modern medicine treats the symptoms instead of the cause, but that doesn't apply to a broken nose. They can't, nor should they, ban wild aggressive dancing at a club. :p
I did have a friend get knocked unconcious stage diving at a concert. They had to stop the show for 20 minutes. Luckily, it was just his head that was hurt, so we didn't need to take him to the hospital. It was obviously beyond repair for that to happen in the first place! ;)
