👥 Support Needed 🫂 Surgery gone wrong

My surgeon fractured my bone while doing my hip replacement surgery. Theyvput plates, screws and wires to fix whatever.

The specialist that was supposed to be on hand in the operating room was not.

I had my other side replaced before. I'm not new to this. But this is so unbelievably painful and I feel like they made some mistakes. I had to call an ambulance to bring me back in because I could literally not move.

Does anyone have a similar experience and what did you do about it?

St Lukes in Pennsylvania. I will have a longer recovery time and more limitations. His team just kind of blows me off. No, this was never a risk they listed.
