Yep.

I've had a lisfranc injury, which while not life threatening is very serious and the quicker the surgery is done, the better outcomes.

My podiatrist did X-Rays incorrectly, I told her I'm seeking 2nd opinion just to confirm her findings. I've found a guy that specializes in lisfranc at Rush. He performed correct weight bearing x-rays. It was a bad sprain and not a torn ligament. It took 12 months to completely heal but I was walking mostly normally after 4 months.

Always SEEK 2nd and 3rd opinion if it is something serious. You can also "find" algorithms use for diagnosing and treating suspected condition to make sure your physician is up to speed.

Not all physicians are equal. They also deal with burn out, and have better and worse days.
