that is an unbelievably HORRIBLE story to read. I am so sorry you had to suffer such a disaster. The only thing to say is that these events make us stronger, and we help others. I hope you file a lawsuit for neglect and damages. I know a surgeon who got away with murder (almost literally!), and finally, someone took him to court. He is BACK practicing after a few years. Doctors are people, too, and there are some sh*ty ones as well as heroes. I came so close to having surgery with the surgeon who was sued. I thank my lucky stars he got mad at me and wouldn't do my surgery. That alone was a horrid experience that stayed with me for 3 years. Until I found my HERO, and he told me he does all that surgeons revisions!!!

No! When my wife got dropped in the shower, we thought we might have a case until the attorney spoke with my wife’s primary orthopedic surgeon and he claimed that my wife had multiple falls, when if she did , she only had two. One when she was dropped during her initial surgery and then at rehabilitation. The attorney felt that there were to many misinformation in the surgical noted to generate a case in court. My wife received nothing except long term disability until she reached the age for Social Security. She now has found a new orthopedic surgeon that said that he would monitor her and do any follow up surgery if and when necessary! It’s been a rough 14 years. However, thank God she is able to get around as good as she does considering what she has been through! Glad you found a good surgeon! That alone is a big peace of mind!
