I might get hurt, patting myself on the back so hard. ;)
A regular client of mine who'd been having problems with his right shoulder since before he started coming to me FINALLY got an MRI. His doctor, who had insisted that it was bursitis, was surprised to find a fairly severe rotator cuff tear and scheduled my client for surgery.
I, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all. I had told the client at his first visit that it sounded like a rotator cuff injury to me, and that he needed some better diagnostics done.
Of course, diagnosing and/or treating any kind of illness or injury is outside of my scope of practice.
But I knows what I knows.

Nicely done! :-)
The LMT my wife sees is pretty spooky like that. He could tell a host of things about her, just by the way her body carried itself. I guess its all those years of experience showing through.
Unfortunately all too often you gotta make the doctors do their job. They try to take the quick & easy route more often than not and most folks are brought up to just swallow whatever the Dr gives 'em. Nice to see your patient's story has a happy ending.
Doctors will sometimes get to attached to their own ideas and stop listening. I'm glad your client is getting better treatment.
