"...should be careful not to stress my arm or bump it. I
asked when I could expect to ride again and he said to go ahead and ride!
..."
Unless Doctors ride (and ride hard) they are
absolutely clueless. A very good sportsmedicine orthopedist who helped me
with my back and knee, had enough sense to talk to me for much longer than the
usual quick visit so I could describe the stresses I was planning to put on my
back and knee. After he understood, he was equipped to give much better
advice.
If I end up dealing with Drs again, I will force
them to listen and understand before they make their recommendations. By
the way, Doctors do not "give permission" to their patients, they make
recommendations. Some of their recommendations are better than
others.

PS How many times have we heard "The Dr. would not
let me leave the Hospital"? A doctor can't keep anyone in a hospital
without a court order, something courts do very rarely.
