But his comment about wearing the brace while I played reinforced to me that he had no idea the kind of pain I'm talking about. Maybe I'm just really pissy cause I will likely miss all my big tournaments this year.

1) Taking personal calls while a patient is waiting within earshot is rude.
2) Legally, you own your x-rays but the doc is the legal custodian. You may request copies (not originals) at a reasonable cost.
3) He should have outlined a course of treatment with all alternatives discussed. Ie; If it isn't improving in 10 days, we'll do this. If that fails, we'll do this. Etc.
4) Making a correct diagnosis is only a small part of his job. He sounds like a jerk. You should write a calm letter letting him know how he disappointed you.
