I went to see Dr. Frankle a few days after I dislocated my shoulder. This was the first major injury I have ever had in my life. I saw his resident first and the first thing I asked him was when I could start working out again. The resident told me to wait six weeks. I then saw Dr. Frankle and asked him the same thing. He told me I could start working out again whenever I felt comfortable. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT! I started working out again when my should felt normal again and that caused my shoulder to get injured beyond repair! When I went back to Frankle and asked him if I would make a full recovery, he said “no” with such indifference and zero empathy. He just ruined my life! I’ve been doing physical therapy and while I have made some improvement, it doesn’t seem likely I will ever get back to normal. He should have told me to wait six weeks before working out again but because of him, I will have to live in discomfort for the rest of my life.
