When a broken bone has healed incorrectly, you don't want to know what the surgeon has to do to fix it.

(I know personally as I broke my leg and ankle at the beginning of the covid pandemic 2 years ago, when most of the surgical centers were closed. Surgeons and ER docs let me what would happen if I didn't get surgery repair in a timely fashion.)

This guy is an idiot.
