Will never be able to fully bend my middle finger because it took more than 5 days to hear from an orthopedic surgeon.
To summarize: injured my finger on a Saturday, reached out to a hand specialist on Monday with details on injury, played phone tag with scheduler for a week+, got a call back 13 days after injury from doctor’s assistant stating “this injury needed surgery within 5 days and we do not have any openings, please reach out elsewhere.”
Long story short, can no longer get surgery and middle finger will not fully bend ever again. Captain Hindsight told me I should have gone in person to a hand specialist to emphasize the seriousness of my injury. Oh well, now know how urgently these injuries need to be handled.
