Avatar f tn First, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. That's so hard. I lost my mom when she was just 52 years old and have never fully recovered to be honest. Her situation was termed a 'medical misadventure' during her autopsy which is code for malpractice. My mom's malpractice issue was follow up of care post surgery. She died of sepsis and had signs of it that the doctor did not follow up on.
418466 tn?1207114132 Do NOT attempt to remove this drain by yourself. I can understand another vet wanting the surgical report, but it shouldn't stop them from treating your dog. That doesn't sound right to me at all. If you're having problems finding a competent vet, you could try starting with your local SPCA or Humane Society. Explain the situation to them and I'm sure they'll come up with a vet who will happily get this thing safely out of your dog's ear.
Avatar f tn I just found out from a small bowel follow through that I have surgical clips in me. And the last surgery I had done in my abdomen was in 2008 they removed my left ovarie and tubes, every since I have been sick. It has gotten so bad that now I'm on Disability. Because of other major health issues. I stay swollen all of the time. Any Advice?
Avatar f tn It turns out that in another state, she has a board action against her for not reporting the suspenion of her surgical license. He didn’t know why her license was suspended because at that point he told his wife that she REALLY needs to switch docs. I have now looked further into this. It looks like she was performing a similar surgery to mine, but there were some difficult adhesions and the surgery became complicated.
Avatar f tn I RECOMMEND YOU GO TO AN INDEPENDENT-OF-THE-SURGICAL GROUP- PHYSIcian to manage the iscovery of what it is. Unfortunatly most states have the Malpractice problem that present docs from rapidly responding to the needs. In most states there willbe enormous malpractice cases as a result of this so far, and tons of money to te lawywers. However some sates, ncluding my hometate coloado have marvellous ways of avoiding his.
Avatar m tn Every surgical operation has its risks depending on your age or if you have other comorbid conditions (hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc). Complications include difficulty of breathing, heart problems, kidney problems during or after the operation, though these can be minimized with proper pre-operation evaluation (usually by an internist, or cardiologist).

Avatar n tn t know if that was the position they used to preform your surgical procedure. However the surgical position itself could have irritated or injured this nerve. What have they done besides narcotic's to ease your pain? Have they tried a burst of oral steroids? This would reduce the inflammation and possible ease or stop the pain. Also one of the medications they use to treat nerve pain is Gabapentin (Neurontin). Have they tried you on any type of nerve pain medications?
1060769 tn?1254977492 Postponing the operation as long as reasonably possible is a good thing. You avoid unnecessary surgical risks by doing that. A few people actually die during heart surgery. It's not like having your tonsils out. It's a lot more major than that. It's not something to jump into, just to "get it over with." Also, if you can postpone your operation, you may be able to take advantage of advanced surgical technology later on.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever heard of this before? Is this a malpractice suit or more of a class action due to complications or possible recall of this specific staple maybe? I don't know much details yet. I also wonder if I do have some sort of case, if it even matters because its been nearly 18 years (or 13, depending which surgery caused this).
Avatar n tn If the percentage is less than 29%, a surgical operation is at a high risk and a surgeon may not recommend an operation as the risk may exceed the benefit. Or the estimated dimensions of the heart may be insignificant, and your mom is relatively good health and the risk is minimal.

Avatar f tn Therefore, surgical intervention is essential to remove the large cyst and if permanent damage needs to be avoided. Craniotomy, needle aspiration and cerebral shunts are common surgical treatment that may help. But, surgical modalities may have some complications depending upon size of cyst. Before opting for surgical procedures, you should evaluate both the pros and cons with the help of a neurosurgeon. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Bow legs or genu varum can be corrected in adults by surgical remodeling. The exact type of surgical technique would depend on the severity and the exact location of the defect. Temporarily orthotic devices may be used to provide symptomatic relief, though a permanent cure may require a surgery in adults. It would be best to consult an orthopedician for a detailed review and appropriate management.
Avatar f tn It was then removed surgically He has not yet been told whether he is to have further chemo sessions. The consultants say they will know in about 2 weeks from operation date. Is this a 'bad sign'; would they not know the extent of the cancer from initial tests that were done, or at least from the time of the operation itself? We are very concerned for him and would be grate for your opinion.
Avatar m tn Besides the costs of education, pay staff, rent, malpractice insurance (a biggie) it takes over a $100,000 to equip an operating room, plus the surgical fee normally includes all office care for 90 days. If you figure the surgeon was agreeing to provide care to you for 90 days for $1500 that works about to 69 cents/hour.
Avatar m tn If the baby has a large VSD AND an abnormality of the aortic arch (called a coarctation), then the doctor you spoke with is correct. Surgery will likely be necessary to deal with both. The aortic arch narrowing can be significant early after birth and require intervention. If the VSD remains large during the first 3-6 months of life, then surgery is usually recommended as well.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your reply.I haven't seen the cardiac surgeon yet and will obviously take on the best advice.I must admit that my anxiety levels are rather high at the moment.I'll keep following the info on this site.Thanks again.Baz.
Avatar f tn Most patients do not require surgical intervention for their symptoms. A vitrectomy is a serious operation with risks as well as benefits. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.

Avatar f tn Made these screws aught to be investigated of faulty products that is causing us more harm than good.
Avatar n tn Also, what is the likelyhood of complications? We are very concerned that if he proceeds with such an invasive surgery that his post surgical quality of life could be diminished. We are uncertain if our concerns are valid. Any information you could provide us with would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
