Incidence 1.

Mr. X went to a scan center and had MRI of Knee joint. The scan picked up no abnormality and pt was happy and went back home. Since the knee pain became worse in the same night he went to an institute to have advice. The orthopedician advised him to have another MRI in spite of pt showing him the MRI scan taken on the same day.

Pt became furious and started putting embarrassing questions to this orthopedician.

This orthopedician being a senior man got annoyed and told him to either get a fresh scan at so and so place or get lost.

Relatives convinced the patient to have another scan preferred by the Orthopedician and patient reluctantly agreed to have the scan

Now the report came as meniscus tear... Patient was operated and subsequently doing well.
