When I ask Dr. Hinca, what he thought could be wrong with my ribs, he said it was nothing serious and walked out the door. He came back in with the nurse and examined my ribs, which were extremely painful, but he gave me the impression that I was overreacting. He hardly said anything at all and told me the x-ray looked OK to him, but he would have a radiologist. Read it and it could take up to a week to get that report. He did give me some short term medication to use and lidocaine cream and abruptly got up and left. I'm glad that he doesn't think my problem is serious, but the pain is excruciating. I see he rode in the chart that I have mild to moderate pain. I told him that my pain was an eight and at night. It's a 10. I've experienced a lot of pain in my life, but he didn't believe me. Or maybe I should say he appeared not to believe me.
