Yeah they say “Huh” and then hit it harder and then say “Huh?” and switch to the other knee and say “Huh??”
Then they call in someone else and they whack my knee and say “Huh” a few more times before they give up.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but I'm afraid you're dead. Condolences.
Huh.
My doctor after trying both my fat fucking wrists for a pulse
Which leads me to wonder what they do that test for. You failed, and they just... Scratched their heads in confusion?
Wouldn't this be an indicator of a neurological issue?
Huh, today I learned that that is a neurological test.
I'm not a doctor, but I was always under the impression that when they do that they're whacking on the tendon directly and the leg-jerk reaction is just.. well, physics. The tendon is manually flexed and the leg should jerk in response and I always assumed this was just testing to make sure your knees are in good shape. But according to Britannica.com where my brief searching led me,
Yeah, you've got some brain in your spine. It manages your reflexes, involuntary responses like the knee thing. They're doing that to make sure the neural tissue in your spine is healthy.
It's been this way for as long as I've been getting whacked in the knee, and I have no other symptoms and am in otherwise good health.
I've tried telling them that it won't work before they try it, but they seem to take this as a challenge.
In any case, its still weird you just have hypotonia since seemingly birth and they just seem to go "it is what it is" instead of finding out why. Or you have some sort of condition that could explain it yet Doctora always test it anyhow?
I'm not a geologist, but if it is, I think they should tell them tbh..
Huh...
