"Recurrent dislocation or subluxations don't cause damage."

Not my words, but the words of my Rheumatologist when he diagnosed me with hEDS (he's in charge of the clinic) when I expressed that my shoulders, among other joints, routinely come out of place. I understand that it was to reassure me, given that he went on to say that my joints aren't crumbling even if it feels like they are, but every time I look back on that conversation I blue screen a little.

Humour me, what have professionals said to you that have made you just mentally check out for a few seconds to wonder about their qualifications?
