Medical case studies?

**deathgodusmc** · 03-28-13, 03:48 PM

So my orthopedic surgeon tells me what all is fucked up in my leg today and that he did a medical case study on me. He seemed really impressed and that i should be impressed as well. Im not in the field so why is it im supposed to be impressed by this? Seriously i dont know shit on this and am curious.

i reckon it means your a uniqe case and now he/she can write a paper on it and be published in some sorta magazine journal

Silly DG... that would be fair and equitable. And doctors are NEVER fair and equitable.

You have to pay to submit a journal article, and you never get paid for it. I'm sure he'd appreciate you paying part of the submission fee though.

It just means your case was unique and he is writing it up so other doctors can know about cases like yours.
