In 2006 I had a routine surgery at Elliot hospital that ended up with me in a coma for 2 weeks, ICU for 3 weeks and almost 8 weeks total in a hospital bed. All because of the surgeon screwing up. And I was the first of 3 surgeries that went bad with this Dr. My brother in law was assisting for him on one of the other surgeries and had to go before the board of directors at Elliot to give a statement. He said "Dr. was asking for his opinion (a PA) on what he should do next to the point where he felt very uncomfortable being in the operating room with him" This Dr. soon lost all privileges to practice at any NH hospital and I believe his licenses in general. A quick Google search shows him currently practicing in Lady Lake Florida.

That's awful. I hope you're in a better state today.

You'd think any hospital would at least Google him to see why he's no longer with a place or where he's been prior and get more than an HR "he was employed here" response. These people are messing with people's lives and you'd think a hospital/phys office wouldn't want to employ such people. As malpractice insurance and populace insurance skyrockets.

And then Florida hires him. 😑

One would hope so. The worse part was it took them 3 days after the surgery STILL to figure out what happened. I literally had last rights and wasn't supposed to live through the night twice.

Holy shit, that's insane. Glad you're still here! Love the username.

Thank you. It hasn't been easy to recover. I literally had to learn to walk again. I am 100% convinced the only reason I am still here is that I wasn't willing to leave my 2 daughters alone.
