<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES IS "A DOG'S PURPOSE".......<br />
I LOVE A MOVIE WHERE YOU START CRYING TEN MINUTES IN....<br />
I BELIEVE WE HAVE ALL LIVED BEFORE....<br />
SO IT JUST MAKES SENSE THAT IT'S THE SAME WITH DOGS...<br />
WHY IS THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY SO SHORT.....SIMPLY SO WE CAN ENJOY<br />
THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES THAT THEY ALL HAVE....<br />
THINK ABOUT IT...... HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DOG THAT WAS EXACTLY LIKE YOUR LAST....<br />
WE HAVEN'T.....EACH OF OUR 9 PUPS HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.....<br />
MEET BUSTER.....THE LOVE OF MY LIFE......<br />
WE HAD A GAGGLE OF GOLDEN RETRIEVERS AND ONE HAD JUST PASSED AWAY.....<br />
SHE DIED IN HER SLEEP AND BELIEVE ME THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THEN WAKING UP TO FIND YOUR DOG DEAD ALONG SIDE YOUR BED STIFF AS A BOARD...HORRIFYING.....<br />
I STILL HAVE THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD.....IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE...</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm back with One Final update on my over two year long battle with Bad Physicians....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">And Even Worse Lawyers......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Most of you all know I had Foot Reconstruction Surgery in May of 2017 after</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">many years of my right Big Toe deciding it no longer wanted to be associated with the rest</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">of my Four toes....The Big Toe decided to go East while the other stayed on course....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I discovered so many disturbing things along my final six months after being</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Diagnosed with a permanent..... rest of my life.... disability...... that I felt...as I often like to do....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Make this my "Public Service Announcement" for 2019.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I always say if my ramblings and craziness only help one person from this </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">happening to them then I will have done my job.........</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Most of my readers are all in my age bracket (we are old!!) so I hope it enlightens you about</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">some facts concerning both the Medical Profession and the Legal Profession.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">And you All know I do not embellish.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is what I have discovered....first some facts about physicians....</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">When and If You ever have Major surgery the first thing to remember is<br />#1....Have it in a legitimate hospital....I requested and I was declined saying I had to have it in the Surgeon's Surgical Center.......<br />First of all they throw you to the curb as soon as one eye opens in the recovery room.....<br />They try to insist you get a "nerve block" so they can remove you from the premises without you screaming in pain until you return home.....<br />They also have No Obligation....in the case of something going wrong...to get you in touch or give you information who their insurance carrier is.....<br />The Georgia Medical Board will only give you a yes or no whether the Physician carries<br />Malpractice Insurance....<br />If something goes wrong in a Hospital and even at an Imaging Center you can get in touch with<br />their "Risk Management" people who handle their insurance....this eliminates having to get an attorney if it's not life shattering.....<br />In a Physicians Surgical Center they refuse to give you that information....<br /><br />#2......I am very afraid of Anesthesia....I have a problem waking up from it...Nothing is worse then hearing your name but not being able to open your eyes or say anything.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My Sister-in Law in her 50's died during a simple biopsy procedure from Anesthesia....<br />I signed a consent and said I would be billed from an Anesthesiologists office....only to find out that in a Surgical Center owned by the Physician they do not always use actual Physician Anesthesiologists.....they are using "Nurse Anesthetists " Now you might not have an issue with that but I do.....If you are going to put Sue to sleep and hope she wakes up you had better be a fully trained...years of experience.... a real physician.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Another reason I bring this up is I declined the nerve block for surgery 2...3...and 4...<br />So I screamed in pain all the way home...It was a moot point because I don't remember a thing....<br />When I had the screws removed from my ankle the young fellow came in all Gung Ho insisting he knew better then I and I had to get the block done....It was an argument that did not need to be...If you wish to decline.....stick to your guns...do not have them force you.....<br />(Remember the actual Anesthesiologist with her training hit and damaged my nerve....)<br />So I looked him up along with my friend Google and in 2016 he had Disciplinary Action</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Brought against him by the State Nursing Board....and this is who my Surgeon was using to put Me under Anesthesia......I wasn't happy about that bit of information....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">#3.....start getting your medical records on a regular basis as your going through the surgical process...Do Not wait until you need them. They are your records and they have to give them to you...If you go for an MRI or a CT Scan they always let you leave with the info on a disc for you to bring to the doctor. Ask for a second copy for yourself....They will happily give it to you and you will not be charged later on if needed....I also ask when the Radiologist will have his written report ready... I always go back...usually a day or two after, and get a copy. I read it and if I don't understand a medical term or description I look it up on Google....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So when You go in to discuss it with the doctor you have as basic knowledge of what's going on....I know with women they try to blow you off like your an idiot....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">They hate me as I go prepared knowing too much..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Read the records and if something is not right let them know and make sure it's corrected....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Now I will try to keep this brief (Who am I kidding)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Let's talk about those people that give lawyers a bad name.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Our daughter is an Ivy League Lawyer.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">as Honest as they come and Brilliant at what she does.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But she does respectable Corporate Real Estate Commercial Financing Law.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Maybe not so exciting and certainly not as lucrative as a High Priced Malpractice Lawyer....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But she can sleep at night with a clear conscience......</span></td></tr>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But I knew this was not going away....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I had all the Classic symptoms of RSD....altered feeling...stiffness....no feeling of hot just excess cold...cramps....in a foot that was frozen....a limp...hip pain from the limp....torn ligaments in my knees from abnormal gait.....sleepless nights with a claustrophobic feeling because my foot would not move.....So Of Course any person no matter how strong is going to be emotional...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
RSD...is a Condition listed at the Website of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
NORD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"National Organization of Rare Disorders"......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is Not like "Fibromyalgia"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is a Neurological Disorder caused by a single event like and accident or a surgery mistake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That damages nerves and your <span class="kX21rb" style="color: #70757a; display: inline-block; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33; text-align: left; white-space: nowrap;"> "Peripheral</span> Nervous System"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Most common to happen in a limb....arm or leg...but over time can spread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
There is no cure.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They call it a Disease....I call it a Condition.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Cancer is a Disease.....I can not die from this......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am not one to give up...not when I know this did not have to happen...and it did not have to be </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ignored and not addressed as soon as the surgeon knew there was a problem.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I put my Trust in this man.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He Can Not say he had no idea of my symptoms as during the same time he was treating me he was treating another women with the same condition......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
May 15th was getting closer and closer.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So I continued calling firm after firm....leaving messages....talking to secretaries.....going directly to offices but unable to be seen....I did get a few offices to read the medical records to get rejected with the reason being......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"we looked over your surgical records and we see no wrong doing"......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was not able to speak to these people who are suppose to protect us after harm is done....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It was all third party discussions.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yes.. I was starting to get very emotional on the phone....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I saw my life as I knew it changing forever and no one cared.....People who make a lot of money....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
40% of what is recovered wanted to do no work.....I was hit with ridiculous questions as if I were to blame....But I kept calling every single day....with my list sitting at the kitchen table.....Or calling from my car....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Same story over and over and over again.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was mentally falling apart.......I had to relive it every single day to people who were probably not even listening to a word.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The #1 decline reason was.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"You needed to contact us months ago....we don't have time to put together a case...your Statute is only months away..'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Why the famous Lawyer in Atlanta who specializes in this condition/injury held my medical records from November until the end of January is a mystery..... When I go the call on January 25th that they didn't have the time to handle the case it was devastating....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They wouldn't even refer me to anyone else...Told me to contact the Georgia Bar Association......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This Attorney had just won a case for a man with the same injury for a bit under 2 Million Dollars and the Jury awarded the man's wife an additional 2 Million for her.....She was Not injured in any way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But they were Young and I ...although I don't agree......am old....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I called out of State..Alabama....South Carolina......I called NYC large firms.....I could not find anyone who practiced in Georgia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And it appeared to me that 99% of Malpractice Attorneys in the State ALL went to the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
State Law School....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I found only One who graduated from Rutgers Law In New Jersey......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Our Motherland as we call it......I figured I found a lawyer with Jersey Fight in them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I spoke to his Paralegal for a few months and provided them with everything I found....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Inconsistencies....missing records on the Physicians Assistant who assisted in the surgery at the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Medical Board of Georgia....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I made a Complaint as their records never showed this person ever worked at the Surgeons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Office.....They are not required to let you know the outcome....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mr. Rutgers Law kept all my records and I never heard a word from him to this day.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was sitting on my own copies of my records...What was I thinking.........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
READ THE MEDICAL RECORDS YOU IDIOT!!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So I sat for hours scouring the records to see what all these lawyers were reading.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Not one ever Asked me any questions about what was being read..,.To hear my story....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
THE RECORDS WERE ALL GENERIC IN NATURE......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
THAT'S CORRECT....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was reading page after page after page....Probably over 300 pages....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They weren't talking about ME.....None of it......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
No mention EVER of my foot feeling paralyzed even after the casts were removed...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It was finally mentioned in October of 2018 when saw I the Physicians Assistant instead of the doctor. He was the first to document it in the records....but that was 18 months later.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Statements signed off by the surgeon on How I was able to Stand and put Weight on my foot and leg....with Little Pain..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I had my second surgery for the Toe reconstruction.... TWO DAYS before that recorded statement...... I was in a wheelchair with a full non-weight bearing cast on.....I couldn't even stand....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Surgical Records were Altered.....Was I going Crazy.....????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What in the World was I reading.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Things done and written in detail during surgery that never happened.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was able to Confirm this through Insurance Codes and billing from Medicare and United Healthcare that the procedure he wrote so precisely right down to the length of time it took was never done.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I contacted the Anesthesiologists billing department to see who was falsely stating this information...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Was it the the Surgeon or the Anesthesiologist...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It was the Surgeon.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Not billed for.....just never done.....but documented as being done....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What was he hiding,.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I mentioned all of this is my last post.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I will end with this.... for you to think about.... and hopefully you will be as shocked as I was....,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I thank you if you had the patience to take the time to read all this....Like I said if I can inform just one person who's life might be made whole again..... if even just Mentally....It was worth my time to write this....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In speaking to one law firm in Texas I had a women who was a Doctor who worked for the Malpractice Lawyer....when I told her what I had found tracing back the billing codes and calling the insurance carriers to find false information all over my records.....she said this.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"THIS PRACTICE IS NOT UNCOMMON IN PROBABLY 90% OF SURGEONS WHO DO THE SAME PROCEDURE OVER AND OVER....AT THE END OF THE DAY IF THEY ARE BUSY OR TIRED THEY WILL SIMPLY "COPY AND PASTE" SOMEONE ELSE'S RECORDS INTO YOUR FILE TO SAVE THEM TIME".......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I could write a book about the entire ordeal....So much corruption between the doctors.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So much greed and lack of empathy for the injured by the lawyers....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So many lives ruined with no recourse.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is Happening every day....Everywhere..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It would be a New York Times Best Seller.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Most of you know I love to entertain with my writings and the Family exploits....I like to make fun of myself for being a bit wacky.....and of course my crazy cast of characters....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
No one needs to hear how bad life can be...it's much better to laugh even if it's at yourself.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hesitated to document this but I felt I had to.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Not for Sympathy but to Educate....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This needs to brought to someone's attention not to benefit me as my ship sailed on May 15th.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But to help other people in the future who have had their lives turned upside down by unethical doctors...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Two Year Statute Of Limitations from the date of the Incident is a Joke....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If the doctor that injures you strings you along and gets other people to agree that it takes time to heal when they are well aware they have caused you harm are simply running out your time.... to me that is CRIMINAL.........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I believe everything in Life Happens for a Reason.....This is not the first time I have had an injury at the hands of other people....I have never sued or made a formal complaint against anyone in my 68 years...I have always just moved on.....and figured it happened for a reason.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On May 1st of this year......14 days before my 2 year Statute of Limitations expired.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
FIVE Short Months after I was told I will be Disabled for the Rest of my Life....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I sat down at my Computer and I wrote a letter to the Surgeon...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It was time to "let it go"......After all it wasn't going to change the damage that was done...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I needed closure to move on with my life.....it was consuming my life.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I mailed it the next day marked "Personal and Confidential......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I did not expect a response..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
His Integrity as a Man is Nonexistent......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He knew Nothing could be done to him at that point in time for what he did and how he kept quiet....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As my future was being taken away little by little.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Letter was not rude or insulting in any way....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I complimented his skill that he was able to straighten my foot....I told him of my disappointment in him....I didn't rush into this surgery....I "Chose" him after seeing many any others...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I thought he would FIX ME not HARM ME.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In the end I asked that when he soon retires and has his own grandchildren and he gets to take them to Disneyland and to the Beach and take them on family vacations........He gets to travel with his wife....He gets to enjoy every day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
as time gets shorter and shorter.... he worked hard and now it's time to enjoy the rest of his life......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
All I asked was for him to just think of me during those times....... because I will be unable to enjoy any of those things......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I signed it simply....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Having Foot Surgery....???</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Or any major surgery You need to know How soon to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Contact an attorney...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finding a lawyer to represent you in a Malpractice Case is the craziest thing you will ever encounter ....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure you all know about Statute of Limitations but that needs to be ignored because attorneys do not technically go by that date...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You always hear when something goes wrong the next day the people involved are filing a law suit...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not the case with Medical Malpractice...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They review your case and all the records with experts before even</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">asking your side of the story...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please read this to the end...and hopefully it will help other people from having the same thing happen to you or a friend or relative...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You should technically have a lawyer on hand before your ever get rolled in to the operating room....Anticipate that something is going to go wrong....I'm kidding of course....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But it sure seems like that is the way it works...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Lawyers, as I have unfortunately found out, need</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">between 6-8 months from the surgery date or your date of injury to do anything to help you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Georgia the Statute of Limitations is 2 years from the date you were injured or damaged at the hands of a physician....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone that knows me has followed my foot reconstruction surgery from May of 2017....which means my statute runs out on May 15 of 2019.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I wrote my Blog Post a year ago I never thought</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would be in this situation now...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can read about it here...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://rue-mouffetard.blogspot.com/2017/12/diary-of-foot-reconstruction6-months.html">https://rue-mouffetard.blogspot.com/2017/12/diary-of-foot-reconstruction6-months.html</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For well over a year the surgeon just strung me along with excuse after excuse on why my foot was no longer moving and why the pain was slowly getting worse... I would go every month...I would have x-ray after x-ray and told things such as....it's coming from the stitches...the swelling....the cast...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"It's going to take time,,,,, you had a tremendous amount of surgery...you have to be patient"...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We put too much trust in doctors..Let me repeat that...We put too much trust in doctors....I put too much trust in the Surgeon....I did not want to be unreasonable...We all grew up....especially us women...to believe doctors are there to help and not harm....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I am certainly not saying this is the norm...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a fabulous Neurosurgeon from Emory when I had a disc repaired</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">just a few months prior to the foot...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I reached a year after having my foot reconstructed and after hearing so often from the Surgeon "I have no idea what your trying to tell me"....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to do what anyone else would do....I Googled....Or as my friend Karin says...."I'm not as doctor I only play one on the internet".....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My foot was no better and the pain was getting worse..... not better..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pain and weakness in my muscles started working it's way up my leg...In April of 2018 with my condition worsening by the day I Googled my symptoms and it indicated that I had damage to my Femoral Nerve. That's the nerve that runs from the top of your leg all the way down to your toe....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Approaching the surgeon with this information he suggested that the Anesthesiologist was to blame when she gave me a "nerve block" during the surgery....He said I should see a Neurologist....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He happened to have a friend in the building he wanted me to see..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the advise of our "in-house" attorney (daughter) I went to a different Neurologist .....He clearly saw the issue with my foot but said I would have to wait a Minimum of at least 18 months before expecting any improvement...I asked to have this special test done...and EMG...that detects nerve and muscle damage. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He refused saying it would be too painful....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Knowing that he came very highly recommended by a few people.... I went home and waited for some improvement. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By this time I had torn a ligament in my knee because when you can't move your foot to walk properly things go wrong...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In August I went back in to have two screws removed from my ankle because the pain was unbearable....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The surgeon finally became concerned and his "bedside manner" </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Went from being a real Ass to actually acting like he cared what was happening....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He still had me believing this came from the nerve block...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was going to physical therapy and on September 28th of 2018 </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My good leg gave out...I tore my meniscus and developed a cyst </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">behind my knee....So now I have a foot that basically is Paralyzed and two bad knees...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decide at that time to find a Neurologist who would be willing to give me the nerve conduction test...I had waited my 18 months.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did not want to be unreasonable but no one knew the pain I was in..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I see the Neurologist on his first available appointment which was not until November 1st of 18'....Knowing I had plenty of time before the Statute ran out....plus I was certainly not going to take up the time of an Attorney if I didn't have proof that something was really wrong..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Or blame the surgeon if I didn't have actual permanent damage....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I see the Neurologist and he advises me that I have a condition called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy....He had no problem doing the test to see how bad the damage was... He said I had two different issues going on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first was damage to the Femoral Nerve....no surprise there...He clearly stated that it came from either the Anesthesiologist hitting the nerve when I had the nerve block during surgery #1 (I had surgery #2 6 weeks later) or she put the tourniquet on my leg too tight.....The other damage was at my ankle....my foot had atrophied to the point where It looked like my foot was collapsing. He attributed this to a surgical mishap during the surgery....Telling me to never have anyone ever touch my feet again....I scheduled to go back for the EMG test....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's so busy doing this procedure that the earliest appointment was on January 9, 2019...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After getting the RSD Diagnosis I promptly went and got all of my medical records from the Surgeons Office.....It was at that point that I contacted an attorney....This was in November of 18' with more then enough time to file a claim....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I looked for an attorney who specialized in this particular condition.... it is Rare and it comes from a one time "event" such as an accident or surgical trauma....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In speaking with other women who have had foot surgery their doctors discussed this condition and gave them literature to read before surgery.... even though there would be a very small chance of it happening....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's where I come in....to all my faithful readers...You know it could only happen to "Sue"...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The surgeon never mentioned the word RSD before... during... or after .. The last I saw him was in November of 18' ....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Although I had all the classic signs that I was developing this dystrophy over the course of a year.....He chose to ignore them.....If a physician catches it early he can prevent it from getting worse...My condition is at the "Too Late" stage...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no cure and as I go forward the condition will slowly worsen....When your nerves die in a limb your muscles will soon follow and atrophy or shrink.......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For some reason.... which no one had yet to explain to me...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though your nerves die the pain you have from the condition magnifies your pain along with altered sensations...I no longer can feel heat...my toes and foot are discolored.....my toes are like ice...it feels like water is running down my foot and I have terrible cramping..And when you have a frozen foot and get a cramp...well...you just sit and hope it goes away quickly...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">January 9th rolls around and it's time to have the EMG study done. With my Physical Therapist tagging along to see how the test is administered it clearly shows all the nerve damage. My Femoral...Peroneal and Tibial Nerves had been damaged ..The Neurologist confirms this to the both of us... First addressing the damage in my thigh and Femoral nerve and when I asked about my foot he clearly said "that happened during the same event"....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the second time now that he referred it as the "same event"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He discusses with my P.T. that down the road I will need to have a brace made for my foot and leg so I can walk without my leg buckling out from under me....he made it quite clear that the damage came from trauma during the surgery...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That was on Wednesday January 9th.... the following Monday bright and early I get a call from his office that he wants me to have two MRI's....thinking he just wants to be sure of his diagnosis and is ruling other things out I agree to schedule the tests that same week....I ask his nurse for an appointment for the following week so I could go in and have him discuss the results with me....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She says if he wants to see me they will call me...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">MRI's are done....one of my lumbar spine or lower back and one of my ovaries and uterus....Yes I know crazy right....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That test is completely fine....the lumbar spine shows "mild" aging issues that any 68 year old would have....I do not have back pain of any kind...in fact I drive a Corvette.... if I did have a bad back enough to paralyze my foot....well... common sense tells you I would not be able to get in and out of that car with ease....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I try to get the test results and his office denies my request. I send a message through the patient portal to the doctor directly..... my message is ignored.....I call back and speak to his nurse again asking for an appointment to discuss this....No return call...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My primary care doctor of 30 years steps in and he is able to see the test results....on My Patient Portal page it shows I had the test....it shows it was "edited" ....it shows it was "final"...But the results aren't there...the page is blank...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My PC doctor tells me.....yes there is nerve damage to multiple nerves..... but the Neurologist doesn't mention how this happened in fact he doesn't even mention my foot....only my leg...he also states that the test was shortened because I could not tolerate the pain....that is so not truthful... remember I had someone with medical knowledge in that room with me during the entire test...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I should have introduced him as my son not my physical therapist.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did just fine during the test never once asking to stop...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My PC doctor confirms the damage but says that the MRI Spine results does NOT support the Neurologists diagnosis that the damage came from my spine....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To this day I have not spoken to or been able to get an appointment to see the Neurologist...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So what to do?????</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On January 9th as soon as I received the damage info I contacted the attorneys office. They put together letters to be sent out to the other surgeons I consulted with over the years for the deformity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I begin contacting other attorneys just to protect myself. Up until that point I was only dealing with a para legal...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you have a case like this they all have what's called an "in-take coordinator"....You can't actually speak directly with a lawyer or make an appointment to see one in person....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On January 25th with having all my records sitting at the attorneys office since November I get a call that a current trial is taking longer then expected and they have another one they are about to start....No time to take care of mine....So sorry but we are sending you back your medical records....Good Luck to you....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is almost February....my Statute will end on May 15th...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't even count or remember how many law offices I contacted....They all said the same thing...Not enough time...Too complicated a case....My medical history is too involved to prove the doctor did anything wrong....One women lawyer said "we read the surgeons records and he did nothing wrong"....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She never spoke to me....just made the decision based on his false information or lack of information in the records....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I know is on May 14th 2017 I walked with no assistance in to his office...My toes wiggled...my ankle flexed and I did not walk with a limp...I just had a funny looking foot... on May 15th I left surgery with a foot that no longer moved...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's extremely frustrating to have to repeat your story over and over again when you don't know how it's getting interpreted by the Para-Legal to the Attorney....Basically my biggest issue was that time was running out...Between the Surgeon and two Neurologists they were just running out my clock....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">remember Neurologist #1 said I had to wait a "minimum of 18 months".....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Did I mention the Surgeon rents himself out as a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Expert Witness" in cases like mine....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He had a women under his care right before seeing me for the same condition....RSD....which has distinct symptoms...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So what I was telling him about my foot he was no stranger to....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Always check the Surgeons credentials before having surgery done...Don't use a Surgeon or a Physician who is a Professional Witness....They must know just how to adjust or leave things out...word things differently in their original records...Who would ever think something like this could happen...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Could this get any worse....Oh you Betcha....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being curious as to why all these law offices are either blaming me for having a complicated medical history or was it my age that was putting off these people....Or was it something in his records...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Two weekends ago out of pure frustration and being a Jersey Girl with a lot of determination to see this thing through....I started reading the medical records...Hundreds of pages.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I see during surgery one....That I did have a nerve block to my leg by the Anesthesiologist...The block lasted instead of the usual 6-8 hours ... with the longest as much as 24 hours before feeling comes back...mine lasted 72 hours...I am very claustrophobic so for surgery number two I declined directly to the Anesthesiologist before being wheeled off to the operating room....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She got annoyed saying...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"No one has ever refused a nerve block"....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well she can't say that anymore...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I posted this online and on this Blog about this happening....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During the second surgery..... where I declined the block.... everyone in that O.R. knew I did not have one and the husband knew I didn't have the block....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The staff teased me saying while coming to in the recovery room I was in such pain that I was cursing and asking why nobody insisted I get the nerve block. The husband says I was hysterical all the way home...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Which brings me to hospital surgery versus surgery center surgery...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had asked to have this done across the parking lot at an actual hospital and the Surgeon said I couldn't....I later found out I did have that option.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If your having big surgery insist it's done in a real hospital...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The moment my eyes opened in the recovery room I was out on the curb...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was sure the nerve damage happened during the first surgery....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You tend to panic when your toes no longer wiggle....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As for my leg it was months and months later when the casts came off and the boot came off that I realized something was wrong with my leg as well....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The medical records from my office visits are very vague...they could be anyones....not specific at all....all my symptoms were dismissed....contradictory information was written as fact...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My complaints were no where to be seen in the records...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He never mentions the weekend when his trainee put on a cast too tight causing my foot to turn purple....He alters that to say it happened a week before it actually happened. No notation that I called on a Saturday when I noticed my foot turning color...No notation that I called back on Sunday when the pain got so bad and my foot was getting darker....I even e-mailed the Physicians Assistant a photo...Of course also posting it on Facebook....a Video</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of the husband trying to loosen the cast after the P.A. instructed him how to do it...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I see all these false statements and then I get to the surgery records...Mainly surgery #2....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He clearly states in great detail that I had a nerve block that lasted 3 hours during the second surgery...Not only did I NOT have that done but half of his staff knew it was not done....He was trying to blame my damage all of the damage on the Anesthesiologist...so why not list it twice...just to make sure the blame gets put on her....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I contacted Medicare and United Healthcare to confirm the amount the Anesthesiologist charged during surgery one versus surgery two.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I find there is an $850.00 difference in the two surgeries.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The lesser amount being charged during surgery two which was a much longer surgery......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then call the Anesthesiologist company...they bill the insurance separately then the surgeon's bill......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They E-mailed me the two bills showing only the medical codes for the services...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Using my best friend Google....I was able to put in the medical codes and see what the codes meant....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sure enough during surgery one there is the code for both the nerve block and a different code for the ultrasound used to determine where the needle should be placed....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I check the codes on surgery two...this is where the Surgeon shows another longer 3 hour block...described again in great detail....With his signature....no short typo...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the bill.....no code or codes charged for any nerve block...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I call the office back who sent me the bill copy....they confirm that there was not a nerve block during surgery two....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He.....the Surgeon.... falsified the medical records....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is considered a felony to alter or change medical records....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Especially when it interferes with a malpractice case or in my case preventing me from obtaining an attorney....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So just when you think it couldn't be any worse....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember who your reading about....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I now look into his Physician Assistants records.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Using Public Access online to the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Georgia Composite Medical Board I find the P.A.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me just add this before discussing the P.A. findings...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All of the people who were working at this surgeons office during the two surgeries have all left..... they appear to have all left at or around the same time....I find where three of them are now working...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before the Physicians Assistant left the practice.... he eluded to the fact that a nerve was severed during the surgery.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">People have asked why I went back to this doctor....It was again a matter of trusting this man... with this wonderful reputation...How</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">could he have harmed me so badly...I believed it was not him but that it was the Anesthesiologist who did something wrong....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I mentioned it to him and he agreed... I trusted him to be telling the truth....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How stupid was I?????</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finding the Physicians Assistant on the Medical Boards website I found further disturbing information.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When a P.A. goes to work for a doctor it has to be registered with the Medical Board with the name of the supervising Physician and any other physicians the P.A. will be working for...Records indicate he worked from 2010 for a large Orthopedic Group in town. There are all the doctors signatures from that particular office....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It then jumps to 2018 where he started a new job with a single physician who signed the form stating the P.A. would be working under his supervision.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every time a P.A. switches to a new office this information needs to be documented with the Medical Board.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They have to be under the supervision of a licensed Physician...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Checking his profile on Linkedin he states he was employed at the Surgeons office from May of 2016 until December of 2017....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is not recorded with the Medical Board...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Neither the dates nor the Surgeons signature.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It appears that he never worked there.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So....where am I today....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am unable to find an attorney who will attempt to help me mostly because of a time issue....but also because of information in those records....basically they must all think I'm just a nut....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The surgeon clearly left my complaints out of the records and adding false information to blame other people. ....clearly the information or lack of with the Medical Board concerning the Physicians Assistant should be a red flag for the Surgeon trying to hid something....</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">On May 15th of 2017 I walked into a Surgeons office wearing these shoes<br />since I thought at 66 years old I really should be able to have a better shoe choice.....<br />I was about to have foot reconstruction surgery to correct a deformity<br />that happened over the course of about 6 years.....<br />Back at the old house I had two accidents within a 6 month period...<br />Our old Pyrenees Boo dragged me down my front porch at 3:00 in the morning when he heard a noise under the porch. I broke a toe on my right foot and within 6 months...<br />I fell on a slippery ice covered front lawn while taking same dog for a walk...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">At the time no one knew the cause of why my foot was moving but after I was diagnosed with </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">RSD....this fall and the broken toe was probably the cause of my foot</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">starting to move....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It did not come from the Club feet I was born with....<br /><br />little by little I noticed my foot was curving.... the day of the surgery my big toe had become dislocated and my arch had ruptured....The Fam thought it was time I got my foot fixed...<br />Consulting with 5 different surgeons over the years I finally found the one doctor<br />who was different then all the rest...<br />If you have read the first blog post you might remember that he said to me the first time we met...<br />I asked him what happened to cause the deformity....???<br />He Said....<br />"I know how to fix it I am not a detective"<br />where all the other surgeons were going to fuse my big toe he was the one guy who didn't believe in that.... stating that once your toe no longer moves you will have many other things go wrong.<br />it seems that Big Toe is there for more then just putting nail polish on it.<br />It helps balance....it makes you walk normal and if it is immobile your back and<br />your hips will eventually act up....<br />So I chose Dr. #6........<br /><br />I didn't care that he had zero bedside manner...I was having this in his surgery center as an out patient so He would be the guy to fix the wonky foot..... there would be no bedside encounters so who cared that he had a crappy personality....<br /><br />On June 26th of 2017 I had the second portion of my foot repaired..He would be working on my toes.....I had been in a hard cast unable to walk at all from the first surgery. He tackled the rear of my foot first...he shaved off bone<br />he transferred a ligament from leg into arch and did work on my heel....<br />All this time I complained that my toes...which had not been touched yet.... were unable to move....not once or twice but Every Week I would go in to have the cast changed and every week I would bring this subject up...<br />To Deaf Ears....<br />I heard every excuse in the book....I had and still have a weird sensation under my toes..<br />It feels like someone glued them shut....He would always say...<br />"I have no idea what your trying to explain"...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He did not want to know what I was trying to explain...<br />Finally out of the casts and able to walk but still not able to wear normal shoes.....I was able to travel to NYC for the birth of Jack...I was about to have a grandson and I wouldn't have missed it if I had to crawl to NYC....<br />I did pretty well and was able to put on shoes for 2 hours during Jack's Bris....<br />My foot went crazy after that and swelled to twice it's size....<br />But I was able to walk....so all was good....I thought...<br /><br />A month later in October of 17' I was actually able to host a Octoberfest Party for 30 people...<br />I did ALL the cooking and baking and it was a hit....I love to throw a good party....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Many more appointments to follow my foot was not getting any better but I was mobile.<br />Moving right along into 2018.... in April I was actually able to take Monty for a walk around the neighborhood....I was thrilled...I had gotten Monty the Pyrenees so I would have a reason to get up and out and get some exercise for both me and him....This lasted all of about 4 days....<br /><br />My right knee started to get numb.... my foot by now can be safely called paralyzed....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">No wiggling of toes...no motion at all....it looked and still looks frozen. Foot cramps and ice cold toes were not a good sign.....walking up stairs became a chore...my thigh were I was given a nerve block during surgery one was so painful that putting on clothes became a problem.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So what did I do since the surgeon is either an "Idiot Savant" and his only talent is straightening toes....or he just doesn't give a damn....I Googled my symptoms....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A Friend of mine once said....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Im not a doctor I just play one on the internet"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I brought to his attention that my Femoral nerve in my leg might be injured...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> This was one year after the first surgery....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Mr. Personality suggests I might want to see a Neurologist to see what exactly was wrong with my </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Foot....He claims innocence.....He suggested I could have a bad back or perhaps Gout??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I see Neurologist #1.....a goof ball is the only way to describe him...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">in all of about 3 minutes maybe a little shorter....he tells me I would have to wait a minimum of </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">18 Months before expecting any improvement....There is a test they can do to find nerve damage but he claims it's too painful and he would never do such a thing...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I actually talked to myself out loud as I walked out of his office saying</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Well that was an hour out of my life I will never get back"....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I counted in driving time!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I continue through the summer of 2018 no better off then the day of the first surgery...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In fact the foot and leg were getting worse....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Luckily even though I was putting all 165 pounds on one leg my good leg was doing just fine....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I never even thought to think of Medical Malpractice or the statute of limitations....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I wanted to know when my foot would get better....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In September of 18' at the referral of my BFF I called her Neurologist for an appointment....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Explaining that I was to the point that I could not walk more then a few feet and the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">paralyzed feeling had worked it way up my leg....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">"We only give appointments to emergency cases"....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">That was what I was told by office staff so I go ahead and make their first appointment for November 1st.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I decide the pain in my foot was getting so severe that I went in and had them take out the two screws that were put in my ankle...my foot had healed so it was okay to remove them...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BTW.....they gave me the screws as a souvenir and they looked like they came from the hardware department at Home Depot.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I kept telling the Boss that one felt like it was going to pop through the skin at any moment...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He thought.... like I'm sure everyone else.... that I was embellishing the situation...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He was shocked when I came out of surgery to see what they took out...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I got an apology.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">On September 28th while waiting to see the Neurologist my good leg decides that it doesn't want to be left out of the fun so it decides to tear my meniscus and give me a cyst behind my knee....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Oh this is great because now both legs are like jello.....But not one to stay silent I go in to see</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the Surgeon for a "where do we go now"......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I was still having hope that all of this would just go away....I was trying to be</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Reasonable as everyone was saying it takes time....I did have over 100 stitches in my foot so I played along....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I...as most people would do...trusted this man...Surely he didn't know that something went wrong during the surgery...He is there to help people not hurt them....Or So I Thought....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">As the days went on I started doing less and less......</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Monty could not understand why he had not been on a walk since April....He looked sad...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My everyday gourmet meals went from filet mignon and lasagna to</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Take out and sandwiches....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I used to spend my entire day in the kitchen....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The Surgeon....and I use that title loosely.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Still wasn't saying a word...and then I slapped myself in the face and woke up to what was going on around me...I wondered why his entire medical staff both in the office and in the surgery center had all left.... apparently all at the sign time...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm as good as the FBI in finding out information....it was time to use my skills at finding out</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">what in the world was going on....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This was my typical </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"This could only happen to Sue" moment.... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Watch out for post #2.....The Legal Disgrace.....and if your old....as in over 60..... your basically screwed....</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;">Christmas party with the Boss' Car Guys and their wives...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is Sandy or Sandra....some call her one thing others call her<br />the other...<br />I know Stan... her husband... calls her Sandra in a very stern<br />voice but being married almost 60 years<br />His voice just oozes...better yet....Grumbles... of Admiration and Love...<br />we have been friends now going on 3 years and I wonder<br />how wonderful it would have been knowing this<br />women for my other 63 years...<br /><br />As most of you know from Facebook I had very large<br />foot re-construction surgery done that began with the first of two surgeries that started seven weeks ago...<br />She has been here for me every inch every stitch every Percocet and every tear of the way....And<br />believe me it has not been an easy 7 weeks...<br />From bringing over food to bringing over her whole<br />Family with food....to calling almost every day<br />To make sure I'm Okay....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />She knows when it's been a bad day.....<br />She will call and hear that there are tears rolling on the other<br />end of the phone just from shear frustration<br />and like the "Mother" or "Grandmother"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I never had....<br />she knows how to calm me....<br /><br />We are so far apart in backgrounds it's not funny....<br />I am that loud... at times obnoxious... Jersey Girl.....<br />In my 60's with no real connection to what's left of my<br />Family.....<br />She on the other hand is 70ish and is of Jewish Faith and speaks<br />softly....unless she's trying to get Stan's attention...<br />Then the voice raises ever so slightly....<br />Her son happened to work for the Boss 30 years ago<br />at Home Depot so it was a nice reunion the<br />day of that Christmas party when Mark showed up and they<br />recognized each other immediately...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was one of those</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"What are the odds" moments....<br /><br />During Passover this year she invited us to their Family Ceremony<br /> Dinner.......<br />Sophie happened to be with us so she came along and it<br />was wonderful once again to sit at a Dining Room table<br />and be a Family...it was such fun....You could feel<br />the Love these people feel for each other...<br />And we were chosen to be part of it...<br /><br />In my 66 years I have never met a person like<br />Sandra/Sandy....I call her both...<br />I have been blessed by this chain of events that brought us<br />Together....<br />And now to be so under the weather... for lack of a better<br />description...<br />To have this adorable tiny person stepping up to<br />make sure I am being taken care of is something<br />I will never forget and will always cherish....<br />Sure we have friends for years and years but length of time<br />doesn't mean a thing....It's what is in that persons<br />Heart that seals the deal...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And of course don't get me wrong I love and cherish all my</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">friends....some I have known over 50 years...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But you know it when you meet that person that has that</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">something extra...<br />And then there is Monty....<br />Monty adores Sandy and just attacks her with kisses<br />when she comes over...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He's almost her size so he must think it's okay...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">....One last thing to describe her....<br />On one of her visits to see me she showed up in my<br />kitchen holding something she said would make me smile....<br />So there she stood with Yoda in arms...<br />Almost as big as she is....<br />Did it make me smile....it sure did....<br />Who would think to take to someone a Giant Sized<br />Star Wars stuffed up Yoda....holding a Box resembling<br />The Famous Tiffany's Box....<br /><br />She thought of it...and that is what sets her<br />Apart....<br />Love you Sandy....</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;">The consensus was all the same...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Send him back where he came from...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />We even asked the breeder to take him back for one week and<br />see if she could break him of this horrible habit...<br />She appeared to be experienced with animals...<br />She sent us an e-mail saying all was fine and he was<br />lovable and sweet and she didn't have any issues with<br />biting in the few days she had him in her home..<br />It must have been US??? she claimed....... we weren't "rough playing"<br />with him enough...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He was not meant to just sit around on a couch...she said....<br />On the phone her story changed and she admitted he bit<br />both her and her 3 year old daughter...<br />She also decided along with her parents.... who own the<br />farm.... that they would refund our money and wished us good<br />luck....Basically they didn't feel we were the right people for<br />the dog...<br />He came from a filthy farm where all the dogs were matted and<br />They lived among Donkeys and lamas...And Goats...<br />No air conditioned runs or pens in 90 plus degree heat...<br />No signs of water anywhere...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Compared to a beautiful home with a pool on an acre<br />all fenced in...with two people<br />dedicated to giving this little guy a wonderful life...<br /><br />We were basically insulted...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And believe me it takes a lot to insult an Adivari...<br />We decided to let her keep the dog...<br />We are still waiting for our check to arrive in the mail...<br />You all know the Adivaris<br />If it doesn't show up soon we will be going down to<br />small claims court....<br />The only one who is really really happy about this<br />out come is.....</span></td></tr>

I watched in horror<br />as the speedometer just kept dropping lower and lower<br />until it stopped...right there in a traffic lane.<br />My Brand New Car....<br />D.E.A.D. dead.<br />All I thought of was how we were going to have to climb out the window when the doors would not unlock...<br /> I had opened my window moments earlier to tell the pick-up<br />barreling up behind me that my car was dying...<br />He shouted something out the window<br />followed by...<br />"Why don't you step on the gas"....<br />Only a man would think a women in a Corvette<br />would be purposely driving 11 mpg just to piss him off....<br />So the car died....Cousin Caryn got us out using the<br />emergency door lock release...<br /><br />You see some idiot at General Motors decided to put<br />electronic door locks on the Corvette...<br />If the car dies you are locked inside...<br />Had I been alone who knows what would have happened...<br /> She is my Guardian Angel.....<br />She stood outside the car flagging oncoming cars to pull over....<br />At one point we heard a loud squeal and I think we just shut our<br />eyes waiting to hear the crash but the Mercedes missed the<br />back bumper by mere inches....<br />When there was a lull in traffic she casually mentioned how<br />"Clean" it is here in Georgia vs. NYC....<br />We laughed for a moment and then continued waving at cars<br />not to hit us...<br />3 calls to 911 and about 1/2 hour later the police showed up<br />along with the Boss...the Fire Department and my other car...<br />He told us to get in the car and continue on our way...<br />He would wait for the tow truck....<br />Before we left.....<br /> He Tried to start the car and managed to catch the<br />starter on fire which prompted me to yell at the<br />911 operator....<br />"Now the car is on fire you really need to send someone"....<br />They were busy somewhere else.....<br />Who knew in our huge County that apparently there is only<br />one police car on duty at any given time...<br />But then.....<br />The fire truck arrived and it seems it was just a lot of smoke.<br />no flames....<br />So off we went to Scott's and We had a wonderful time.....<br />Caryn was impressed that the Boss stayed very calm and made sure our outing was not interrupted....<br /><br />So what happened to my new car....????</span></td></tr>
