[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 300747, member: 1233"] Many hugs. Is he willing to go to a rehab place if you can get the doctor to recommend one? Sometimes docs just don't bother with physical therapy. When my bro was in a bad car accident the doctor did a truly superior job of stitching him back together, even hid the cuts on his face better than most plastic surgeons could. But the guy REFUSED to give my bro a PT referral. Said it wasn't real medicine and wouldn't help. Bro pushed and pushed to the point he told the doctor if he didn't get the referral he was going to sue. If he hadn't had the PT he would not have been able to get the rods and pins out of his legs and that means he would not have spent a season in Antarctica and a lot of other stuff. If you can, gently push him and his girlfriend to get a second opinion ASAP. IF he doesn't he could end up with what Steph got. The hand cut that the doctor wouldn't treat for weeks? And now she has RSD and it is hideous. It also may or may not EVER go away. Rehab is important, but you are also going to have to just be glad he is alive. Be prepared for serious behavior changes. Many hugs, even if I don't post a lot of replies. [/QUOTE]
