Re: 'Doctor Error' #4 killer.
I live in a small town in western Nebraska, when my husband (pastor of the church) and I came here in 2000 we met a church member who looked litterally like she had her half her throat and right cheek and right shoulder chopped up...so I asked her, did you have neck cancer??(and get it removed?)...her answer...
(remember this is a small town ...6000people)...ONE Surgeon (though two are in the phone book) Dr. T. and Dr. M...
she said...
NO, this was a Right Mastectomy...the doctor made a mistake so he had to take muscle from my other muscles in my neck, shoulder and face!!!!
Today she has a stomach tube and has to blend her food up
BECAUSE THE POOR LADY (60'S) CAN'T SWALLOW.
Now they tell me if I want surgery Dr. T (or possibly his son...can't figure that one out!Dr. T in nursing home and listed as Dr.)...has to do it...
I was thinking NO WAY!!!!HE ISN'T TOUCHING ME WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!!!!
dove!
I was planning to go 80 miles away to have the gallstone surgery before I canceled it....now you know why!!!
