My Surgeon broke his hand!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon had a treadmill accident and broke his hand last week. My DH had an appointment with him yesterday and we asked him how he was doing and did he have to reschedule his surgeries. He said he did have to reschedule. I asked him "How did the patients react?". He said "Well, you know I try my best to be caring and understanding. I really try to help people. That's just how I am....but do you think ONE patient asked if I was 'OK'??" Then we all had a good laugh!

My surgery won't be til the end of April or early May, but could you imagine, being on your liquid diet for 3 days, all excited that on Thursday you'll be getting your band, only to get a call stating the doc broke his hand and will have to reschedule you??? I have to admit...I'm sure glad it wasn't me!

Ouch! One question, though. How did he break his hand on a treadmill? You'd almost have to be trying to do that, I think. I guess it is almost on the level of me nearly breaking my nose when I walked into a sliding glass door.

He said he was running and tripped & fell on his hand. Thankfully it wasn't too serious of a fracture and he was only supposed to have the cast for two weeks.

I said to him..."See Dr. K??? I TOLD you excersize could kill you!!!" hehehe

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
