FYI: Surgery

FYI. I have had so many surgeries I figure I'm a pro at this point. Apparently not. I had surgery back In may on my foot as many of you know. It was just an In and out procedure with no worries. Well, now my foot Is worse than ever. My doctor dropped me under ridiculous circumstances. So, I went to my PCP and told him briefly the situation. First I want to point out that he's the doctor that everyone refers to(the surgeon). My PCP ran some scans on me and It took him nearly two weeks to get back to me after I'd been calling everyday. When I finally got a hold of him he didn't say much. He just said that I had some arthritis and my ligaments are swelling. He was fumbling for a referral kind of nervous like. This was all very strange to me because he has always been very Informative on any situation. Then he told me that all he will say Is that I need to get a second opinion. Again, very strange. So I know some people who work for doctors so I asked around what they might think. All anyone says Is to get a second opinion on the situation. Natalie spoke to her boss and she said that It sounds like somebody messed up In the O.R. and they are trying to cover It up. Hopefully that Is not the situation but as strange as everyone Is acting I can't help but get a little nervous. Anyway, even great doctors can screw up so If surgery ever comes up In your world think long and hard about It. Just FYI.
