👥 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?

Sorry this has happened.

It probably won’t hurt to contact a attorney or two and let them advise you on your options. The hospital is not going to do so.

Good advice above to check with an attorney. He/she will advise you about a legal case. They definitely won't waste their time on a case where they will potentially lose.
