Yes, precisely! I don't know why the parents agreed to that bullshit instead just going straight to suing the doctor for malpractice. I honestly don't think there are enough malpractice lawsuits. I wish my family would have sued the guy who performed my dad's last back surgery, and practically crippled him! My dad should have just up, and left the hospital like my mom wanted, because the surgeon was about three, or four hours late... what the fuck was that about? I have no evidence of course, but I can't help but to wonder if the guy was particularly intoxicated, or maybe hungover. 🤔
Surgeons experiment on old people. Often, they will upsell you on another surgery to supposedly make everything okay. Never get elective surgery if you are over age 75.
Thanks! It can probably happen anywhere though. What's really sad is that the highly recommended surgeon to whom my father was originally referred was booked up pretty solid for a few months, so my dad chose to go with this other guy who was available immediately. My father had had an earlier surgery on his back about 20 years before when we were living in Houston, and it went off without a hitch, and I mean he was up, and walking the same day like nothing had happened.
It's been pretty heartbreaking to watch my dad like this for the past 15, or so years, and one thing he has admitted to doing wrong was that he never quit running/jogging despite the fact that he had been told to do so by the original doctor. I kinda wonder if maybe my father would not have needed further surgery if he had just listened. My dad was really into running when I was a kid, and teenager, he even used to run the Houston Marathon.
I love my father a lot, and he's been like a best friend to me throughout much of my life, but I think he's a person who is too stubborn, and doesn't always listen to expert advice when it's given to him. My dad just wants to do want he likes, and what makes him happy without thinking too much of what might happen.
My father is 84 years old now, and he is starting to have problems with his short term memory, and a kind of a brain fog. I ask him if these symptoms bother him, and he says he doesn't care, because he can no longer do what he wants to do anymore.
Anyway, that's my story, and I'm now a firm believer in researching things, reading lots of reviews and looking for the best possible recommendations. I also NEVER ignore bad reviews! I've done a review of the surgeon who practically crippled my father, and every so often I will check to make sure it's still up on the site. If my review ever gets taken down I will repost it. This isn't a very nice thing for me to say, "but I honestly hope that doctor someday needs a laminectomy, and finds a surgeon just like himself to operate on his back"! I figure if the guy was not really a terrible surgeon, and my father's condition has nothing to do with the surgery that was performed then my wishes for him might not be so bad.

That's so evil! Yeah, I remember after that bastard messes up my dad he offered to do another surgery, and my folks were like, "fuck no"!
That’s appalling, I can’t even fathom that happening where I live. I’m so sorry.
