Revelations...

So I finally got through to my orthopedic surgeon today...the conversation with his assistant went like this,

Me: I need to make an appointment with Dr. Sheinkop.

She: Are you an existing patient?

Me: Yes, he did surgery on me about 6 years ago now. He put screws in my right knee, but I need him to look at the left one. The right one is fine.

She: Oh, well, you'll need to have x-rays of both knees then.

Me: Why? It's not the right one that hurts.

She: We have to make sure none of your screws have come loose.

Me: ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
