How are you supposed to win with a carry that is good 1000 mmr below everyone else in the game. | ||

So my fiancée has had severe shoulder pain since August. I scheduled an appointment with an orthopedic specialist in September. He says he can't do anything without scans, so he gives us an order for an X-ray and ultrasound of their shoulder. I take it to my local hospital, schedule the appointment, and get it done at the end of September because of the wait times. I go back to the specialist, an hour's drive away, in the beginning of October. He can't find my fiancée's record of ever having visited. I show him the exact date and time he visited. He still can't find it. He says he hasn't received the scans. He did not bother to let us know beforehand. We get given a prescription for tramadol. It doesn't work. Waste of time. I call the hospital. They say he's not a part of the national medical record system. I ask if my fiancée can be given the scans. They say no. They say they'll physically mail the scans to him. I call the specialist back. It's now the end of October. He still hasn't received the scans. It's now early November. My fiancée's shoulder pain is getting unbearable. I take them to the emergency room of the hospital I got the scans at. They order an X-ray despite me telling them that we've already had one done. It, of course, shows nothing. My fiancée gets told there's nothing the hospital can do to help them and gets sent home with a prescription of, literally, ibuprofen and rest, like we haven't done that for months already. It obviously doesn't help. I call a different orthopedic specialist. The appointment is set for 23 November. A day later, it gets changed to 30 November. A few hours after that, it gets changed to 6 December. It's 26 November. We go to a different hospital. I explain the situation and previous results, about how my fiancée is in so much pain, they can't go to school and they're here on a student visa. They order an X-ray. It obviously shows nothing. I say no shit and ask them for an ultrasound or a CT scan, and they say I need an appointment for that. I plead with them to help my fiancée right now and the nurse leaves for 15 minutes. She comes back and hands me a business card. "This is the number of an orthopedic specialist. Call on Monday and make an appointment. He'll order an ultrasound or CT scan." Three months of trying to get this done and I am back at square one. | ||

And wtf about the hospital not giving out like a cd with the MRI scans or provide them online in tandem with a viewer so you could have a look for yourself. I hope you guys can resolve the situation ASAP! You probably did this but consulting a local might provide some insights how to best proceed in the Belgian medical system. At least Germany has tried out a couple different ways to arrive at the desired care over the last decades that make sometimes little sense... | ||

Also the announcements for Western Europe are rolling in...rmn out of Nigma as a Coach, so rumours that Kuro may be switching to Coach-role are becoming more possible. | ||

If same is correct, presume Micke will be switching back to Pos1 again, Nisha is to damn good in the mid lane to be wasted for hitting creeps 30 minutes. Is Secret a farm team for liquid haha? Unfortunately without nisha I doubt secret will complete their destiny of getting first at ti next year. | ||

Secret has just announced BOOM as their new midlaner...holy shit...that is a massive downgrade from my point of view, but if there is beside Ceb/NoTail anybody who can push players to their absolute limit then it is Puppey. Deadline for roster lock is the 09th December, so Teams have to start register their players. If I am not mistaken the first DPC-tour will start 2nd January week and last till end of January with the Major taking place end of February. | ||

I do remember that even Puppey said he almost lost Nisha to Zai last year. So this TI run was probably just Nisha giving a last chance run with Puppey | ||
