I sympathize with this poor soul.

I also had a bad experience, only the problem was that the surgeon showed up!

I had been diagnosed with a very common disorder & was referred to another North Shore Hospital on Long Island for laparoscopic surgery. This was in 2006. Very routine proceedure, so I thought. To make a long story short, I awoke from surgery to my frantic husband telling me to my horror, I was cut wide open 1" scar x 6" across my abdomen. The thing that is really screwed up, is that I was born WITHOUT THE ORGAN TO WHICH THE DISORDER WAS DIAGNOSED!!! The hospital never ran any tests and relied on an outside sono from a pretty prominant Radiology facility on Long Island before operating. How can such a screwup be made in this day & age!???!!

Anyway, of course, there was never any apology or even acknologement that anything bad had happened. I had to suffer in silencer when they pulled a drain from me & scooted me on my way home. When the presrip for Oxycodone expired, they were reluctant to let me have more. My husdband said that it was unbearable to see me in this much pain & that I had one night wished I could just die because the pain was so excruciating. I also developed post traumatic as a result of this and am still on meds & being treated by a Psychiatrist & Psychologist.

The only way a patient can ever get any recourse from such obvious medical malpractice is to SUE, SUE, SUE!!! It's the only way we may ever get any answers or closure for what we suffered through.

I look forward to the conclusion of my lawsuit because I need closure & justice. I would never want anyone else to go thru the hell I went for nothing...I never had the organ for which they operated on!!!!Duh!!!

I hope my story can shed some light on a very real problem, medical malpractice is real, it's the frivilous defenses from the doctors that is the real problem. Sometimes just an apology & acknoledgement is all that may be needed to appease a patient that has been wronge. But when that does not come, we become insensed & only legal action is the only recourse we can hope for.

Thank you for letting me vent my story.

Very sincerely,
