So, I go to the ER to get a fish hook removed from one of my fingers. I tell the doc in the process that I got a small, pea sized lump on a different finger and can he cut that out too. He says no, but he'll refer me to a hand specialist.
So, I see the specialist and say "ok, let's take this out right here."
He says, no, we'll have to go to a surgery center, never know what you might run into.
so, I expected a local block, which they did, but upon arrival, learned they were gonna put me to sleep! I figured they know what they are doing but heck, I was skeert!
So, they put me to sleep, I get 11 stitches in my finger and I wake up an hour later.
Apparently, in Louisiana, they have a rep for unnecessary surgery but I just moved here. I guess I was exposed to an unnecessary threat from the anisthesia.
A friend who seems to know medicine (worked in the OR for 20 years as a nurse) says I should sue them for wrekless endangerment.
Your opinions?
