Whut?!
A strange thing happened to me today, good news though. After my snowboard accident the doctor down in Austria put my foot in a soft cast and said "Have this cast for ten days, then go to your Swedish doctor and close the cast with a real stiff cast. Keep that cast for another four weeks. And don't put any weight on it." Ok, I thought. Today I went to see my Swedish doctor. He said the direct opposite: "You don't need a cast at all. Try to stand on the foot as much as possible and go to a physiotherapist so you’ll get a training program and get the foot back to normal as fast as possible. It’ll take like tree weeks before you can run again. Swimming is good exercise.” Whut? I went to see the physiotherapist and she ordered me to walk as usual. The best thing is that it doesn’t really hurt when I walk! My cousin injured her foot the same way as I, in St Anton. Her doctor put her foot in a huge stiff cast for five weeks! She had a hard time to get the foot in shape again after that. Lucky for me that I went home to Sweden in time! What are they doing down in Austria? Drinking too much Jägermaister?

I know, it's good for you but not for your patients... ;)
