I tore a tendon in my foot during a performance, and being a professional athlete, this can be devastating for my career. I went to Amir Madadi's office to get a referral to see and orthopedic doctor an was told that I don't need it. I'll only be clogging up the line at the hospital. I asked and explained my situation, my profession and that this is very important for my future but he refused me to see a professional. He said that even if he did give it to me it could take a month until I would see one. Then he told me to go to one privately.
That was the most unhelpful advice I've ever gotten from a doctor. The coldness, lack of care and disinterest was an experience I do not recommend to anyone.
Change doctors!!!
And I suggest the Norwegian health system take a good look at itself and start asking some questions about what kind of people work there and what kind of services they're providing, or more like NOT providing to their patients.
On top of that - having the experience of walking into a building that smells of cigarette smoke, a dirty waiting room, and a doctors office that looks like it's from some old communist regime did not help the feeling that this guy does not care about his patients.
After begging to see an orthopedic doctor he ended up prescribing a cream that I could put on my foot, and showed me by miming how to rub cream on my foot.
His words 'trust me' at the very end of our appointment made me very skeptical to his advice.
I am very unhappy with the doctor, the services, and the appearance of the squat-like office.
