Seems like you had bad luck with your lawyer too! I am so sorry. I’ve had that as well. (More bad attorneys than doctors. I am afraid in my case.) I’ve learned to do a lot of research before I rely on an attorney or a doctor. It is unfortunate that we think because we pay these month people are hard earned cash that they are going to do right by us, but they don’t many times doctoring and attorney are actually creative endeavors. Because I am an artist, I approach things creatively which sometimes my doctors and attorneys don’t expect. There is more than one way to skin a cat as the same goes. If I find that, I am more creative than my doctors or attorneys. I do the research myself and then go find another who is smarter than I am. Even though I have probably one of the best orthopedic surgeons.(if I only had time to explain the success of my surgeries with him and the complications) it doesn’t mean that we can fix my body and make it whole. But he’s really good about advising me of the consequences. He is also good about listening to me and letting me be in the driver seat when I’m sure about something and he’s not. I think what I’ve learned. Is that the best doctors know they are going to make mistakes And they are humble and they work with their patients for the best outcome. For me – – if I can’t put myself on an level playing field with my doctor or surgeon or attorney then I have to find one who will let me be there equal. I am no doctor or attorney, of course But my doctor and attorney are only as good as the information I bring to them they have to be willing to work in tandem. I’m glad your wife is getting along and I’m glad you have a new doctor you feel confident with may you continue on with only positive outcomes!
