I am allergic to internal absorbable sutures. They were used anyway even though hopspital and Dr staff were notified MANY time. The wound dehicsed and I had to have a wound vac for over a month.( A VERY condensed version of the hell I went through)
I tried to get medical records but I only got letters between my referrring Dr and the surgeon Upon reminding them of HIPPA, and that I wanted ALL records I requested, even formas I filled out...all I got was the lab results h had on file and a print out of what he did during the surgery! Still no forms the prove my point of the allergy. I was still in pain and another Dr. would finally see me. He explained that the first Dr. had tacked my ovaries to my abdominal wall and scheduled their removal two weeks later. He did it through laparoscopy because he was going no where near my "hideous scar". When he was done he explained that it was a "mess" inside me and he can't believe if moy ovaries looked that bad why they were left in let alone tacked to the wallThere was a computer gliche that caused the suture allergy not to show on my records that went to the operating room with me My husband and I were off work for months, because he was off we will lose our full coverage of insurance, because of the pain and bleeding we cuoldn't have sex for months. ( until the sucessful second surgery) there are well over 50,000.00 in bills. Because the case is not a million dollar case, one lawyers office asked me "did you lose a leg, brain tumor? what is your case?" It seems that the lawyers are sending the message to the doctors "you can screw up but just make sure it's not over a million dollars" What is someone who is now on the verge of losing their house, insurance, facing no possibilty of reconstruction because they can't afford it, and been through months of hell supposed to do? There has to be a way to make the Dr.s responsible or allow a patient to be heard and treated justly with it costing hundreds of thousands of dollars |
