We are lucky to have doctors at all. Yeah, of course there are a few bad apples, but just think about the cursing and threats they get. I was at the emergency room one night when a wild, patient came in, attacking the EMS crew, the nurses and doctors. He wanted to be seen right then, and demanded to be first, ahead of a critcally injured car wreck victim. It took 5 men to finally restrian him to keep him from hurting other patients. Don't think their lives are not in danger, they take a lot of crap. Don't think for once nurses and doctors don't deal with stress, they do, and sometimes never even get as much as a Thank You.

Hey Everyone shouldn't this lady be thankful she can talk and voice her opinion? She had BRAIN SURGERY!! A lot of people come out of brain surgery are unable to move one side of their body or speak or eat solid food. The surgeon had an emergency. I am glad they didn't try to rush through it and make a mistake. As for the other surgeon, they didn't know her and they should be commended for not being the hero and just CARVE away. She had this problem for 8 years. Really what is another three weeks? Her problem was not life threatening and she should be thankful nothing was done unstead of hurried and half heartedly completed, resulting in an inabilty to control her bodily functions and fed through a tube for the rest of a miserable life.

K4225, you criticize the educational capabiliteis and proficiency in English of "most" doctors and nurses; and your comments are written at the level of a fifth grader.This case is an example of abandonment, it is rare despite what you say, and it is indefensable. To imply that because of this case you shouldn't go to the doctor is just ignorant.

The hospital is trying to cover up its liability. The patient should have never been put to sleep without surgeon#1 being present.Surgeon#2 does not know the case and does not have consent. He cannot proceed in this case. He may not have even agreed with the procedure. Surgeon #1 cannot be sued for essentially cancelling the case.

Ckathy2009 ........... I think your dead wrong about this woman having a good case for a lawsuit. Every time you go under general anesthetia you run the risk of complications that can be fatal. This doctor and hospital are responsible. First off she shouldn't have even been prepped if the doctor wasn't already scrubbing up for the surgery. Two the doctor seems to have not had a legitimate reason for not being there in the first place. I can understand the second doctor refusing because he wasn't up to speed on the patients condition and did not want to operate blindly. The hopsital and the first doctor had better get thier wallets out.

As a RN, forget it: I put off going to the doctor and only go when it is urgent. And for Hopitalization, Forget it. Much much too much incompetence, poor education, and most present staff nurses and doctors - it is unable to understand their, what they call english.

I had my identity stolen in hospital...plus put in a room with an elderly woman with altz...she kept getting into my bed... they couldn't restrain her, that would be against her rights.... EXCUSE me ? What about MY RIGHTS ? The doc "thought " I may be having a heart attack. TRUTH was, I have insurance so lets do all the tests we can. Heart doc said my heart didn't have an artery from my left kidney to my heart (???? ) I am 60 , oh geez where did it go ?Another doc said I was OK....IF I had listened to heart doc I would have had surgery. I have had to many friends die in hospitals. Always get someone to go with you who isn't afraid to stick up for you. Doctors are NOT always right.

Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our healthcare and our banking system to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a ***** house and selling whiskey!"

Just wait ya'll. Socialized medicine will end all of this problem. Then we will just wait....and wait.... and wait and maybe never get the treatment needed. There is no way that we can, as a country, ever afford to cover everyone. The government will begin cutting care. Just stands to reason. No money...
