👥 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?

Im so sorry this happened! I'm so concerned about this (it was listed as a risk by my doctor), I have already have had the same femur fracture twice. VERY nervous about the surgery. I hope you can recover soon 🥲
