Trust me, I'm a doctor

A bone healing machine. The prescription I received for the injury that ended my half marathon training is a machine that stimulates bone growth.  I have a stress fracture and the doctor prescribed electronic voodoo.

He’s the second doctor I’ve seen. The first took me even less seriously. She just told me not to run. So, after 12 weeks of medically-prescribed rest and CVS-provided-anti-inflammatories, I got a referral to an Ortho.

Dr. Womack is a consultant to an NCAA Division 1 football program. He’s young and could easily be harboring ambitions of an NFL team doc job. He is tall and reminds me of my OBGYN, except he doesn’t know me and I don’t know him.
