Thanks for your reply. I sent my doctor 2 letters, once on 7/8/05 and again on 8/11/05. I also sent letters to my family doctor and the doctor who referred me...in addition I reported the doctor to the Texas Medical Association for investigation and plan to fax tomorrow--my letters to the doctor and medical records for their review. I didn't include the hospital, but I am glad you mentioned it, as I will also send them a letter and include the letters I sent to the doctor. Thanks for the advice. I realize that I can't take away my experience, but I can try to provent others from having the same experience. I just think it is terrible. It is nice to be heard and feel justified in my feelings about this horrible experience.
