On an old TV show dragnet, the detective sergeant Friday used to ask the witness to state "just the facts, Madam, no opinions". You gave the doctor a conclusion based on your limited medical knowledge. He could use some PR training but was following good medical practice in keeping an open mind. If I had a dollar for every time a user told me the problem and the wrong diagnostic assessment I would be rich. It would have been better to mention the symptoms (fever, swelling etc) and let doctor draw his own conclusions. I hope you will be well soon, we enjoy your stories. Keep them coming. Get lots of rest and chicken soup.
