Don't even listen to attorneys all they do is lie, cheat and steal. My case took so very long. I was treated by the insurance company that I had at the time. They said that my past was not worth much money since I had never made very much. I was so devastated. I was in college when this surgery happened. It was done spring break before my graduation in June 2006. Thanks to a doctor I almost died. Was in the hospital for an entire month. Since that surgery my life is a living hell medically, mentally and spiritually. I feel so much hatred for many people due to this procedure. I am now 54 unable to work. I have had to have many things done to me due to the surgery. Recently I was suppose to go in for a little in and out surgery to remove a small hernia. I woke up to being cut all the way back open again. They found a 10" hernia. In 2008 found out I have Multiple Sclerosis. OMG I could go on and on. But I just want you to know what to beware of. No one really cares that someone got hurt at the hands of a surgeon. Not attorneys, hospitals, doctors, nurses and anything that has to do with the medical field. I hate my life enough that I wish I was dead already. I almost did do it last year in February 2014. But I chickened out. Some people some even family was angry at me for a long time for wasting their time for nothing. Unfortunately I have and older brother has a lot of medical issues as well. Got here in this misery of life a different way than me. He did take his life last year March 10, 2015. He shot himself in the head. It has hurt so much to my family and me and others. He left no note. We knew he wanted to do it. He even tried before. But 2 weeks after I had attempted to take my life. He took his. I feel he did it first so that I wouldn't do it to our Mom. Now I have to stay here and suffer alone without him. I can't do that to my Mother again. But I hate my life. Make sure your husband maybe yourself should get counseling for this traumatic incident in your lives. I could go on and on about all that happens everyday but I hate being on the computer anymore. I got that college degree in 2006 in Networking and Computers. I owe school loans out my everything. I can't use the degree now. Every day I try to do something positive for myself but it's to hard. But I do get up everyday for my service dog Jada. Even she has bad luck, Her hips are hurting badly and needs surgery that cost like $6,000 dollars. I can't afford that. I don't want her to suffer. But I can't let her go either. The medicines every month are a lot. Considering I have tons of medicines to take too. Sorry I just blah blah blah here but it does kinda feel better when you do like some typing and your angry. You type type till your fingers and head hurt. But somehow even if no one sees what you typed. It does help. I need to do it more myself. Good luck to your husband and your family. I can be found on FaceBook my name is Susan Heeres. Please feel free to contact me. I know your pain. Thanks for reading my venting. LOL
I had similar. I had been the fittest guy around until a simple gall bladder op. Bile allowed to leak into my system. Two emergency ops to wash out. Huge 30cm scar across my stomach. Massive infection, sepsis etc.. After two weeks the wound completely burst. 30 days in hospital and NINE MONTHS WITH A 30 CM OPEN STOMACH WOUND and nurses visiting me at home, every day to dress the wound. 4 months after the original op., I developed an incisional hernia at the wound site and 5 months after the op had a blood clot blockage in an artery resulting in a heart attack, for which stents were fitted. 2 years later, I have 3 incisional hernias and I am STILL trying speed up the NHS process for complex reconstructive surgery. In spite of running international businesses and my consequent ability to lead and push, all of the organisation resulting from my OWN letters and phone calls and making my own surgical appointments, I still have no hint of op dates. I was NEVER able to get to the truth about what really happened in the original operation. Always in pain, can't sleep, can only eat in small recent bursts. My work is virtually all overseas. I can only work via video link, my income has suffered, nobody will insure me or fly me and I have a young family to support. The system and it's responsibility to its patients is a joke. It works at a snail's pace with absolutely no sense of urgency or adequate management.
My mother went thru this ,similar only had liver failure and kidney failure as a direct result of this procedure when they drained the bio from her all at once as a result it shuts your liver and kidneys down complete failure I hope this is not the case she had surgery Sept,1 2015 and we pray that we get 2 more months she also called dr about something not being right was told it was gas to take gas x and walk She was healthy before this and now she is dying,pukes blood from busted arterial blood vessels in the throat caused by pressure from the bio in her abdomen we had a dr tell us that every time you do that procedure you kill your liver and kidneys and forces your body make more bio that will then dump in your abdomen again and that they should have never done that procedure to begin with,we got her kidneys to function again until they drained her again. now that we know what caused the above,but it's too late. ps seeking experienced medical malpractice attorney in Alabama.
