I contacted the hospital where the surgery was done; the doctor’s office stonewalled me. I only asked for it because my insurance company required it - not for lawsuit purposes.
Never asked you but did you ever ask the surgeon why you were so messed up? Any underlying issue discovered at surgery? Any previous issues? Have you seen a neurologist/orthopedist/chiropractor for this? We are positioned on a steep incline with our legs and feet elevated during surgery - maybe this caused a spinal issue?
The medical report could also show nothing out of the ordinary so talking to the surgeon is very important; you have to really let him know that he needs to refer you to someone who can pinpoint what’s going on…..or else you may have to “retain legal counsel to see what avenues are open” to you. Suing a doctor sucks - really does! But as I said, they have a legal team that can dig out all kinds of things that you cannot and have the resources to do so. They usually work contingency so they get a percentage of the award BUT be sure it’s all spelled out in the contract OK?
Hopefully it won’t go that far - you just want some relief! Good luck.
