In today's episode, Matt shares his experience as a nurse turned patient after injuring himself in a Ju Jitsu tournament. 😬 He got body-slammed into the mat and heard a clicking sound on the right side of his ribs. He knew immediately that something was wrong, so he went to the ER, thinking he had a fractured rib. They took an X-ray, which took a while. So, this doctor walked in after his X-ray and did not even touch Matt or assess the part where he felt the pain (shocking, we know!). He barely assessed Matt and didn't diagnose him until Matt did his research and diagnosed himself with a slipped rib.

Find out more about Matt's case, our patient with necrotizing fasciitis, and more exciting stories by watching this full episode! 😎
