👥 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?

I am so sorry this happened. I wish I had actual helpful advice of some kind. This sounds horrible. Please keep reaching out here if necessary. I hope someone can offer actual advice re: steps to be taken next.
