The doctors appears to be imcompetent. Both parent were misdiagnose by two difeerent LRGH doctors. Second opinions, one at Concord Hospital and the other at Winson-Salem Baptist got them on the right track although it was too late.

I broke my left humerous at Gunstock, The Ski patrol was top notch, the ambulance was excellent even though I am still shocked from the $5,000 bill. At LRGH, I was in the ER for 5 hours until an orthopedician arrive. The orthopedician wants to do immediate surgery to insert a pin and wire the bones together. Fortunately my friend who was with me is a doctor from Manchester and told me right away they don't wire bones anymore. I'm glad I seek second opinion form NH orthopedics in Manchester. A titanium plate and 13 titanium screws held 13 shattered pieces together. I'm back skiing and my arm is as good as ever.

The local orthopedic was p.oed by the way. He refused to prescribed pain killers for my trip to Manchester.
