    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    I AM TRYING TO GET HELP. I HAD A BREAST AUGMENTATION PERFORMED IN 2007. I BEGAN TO HAVE COMPLICATIONS SUCH AS PAIN ON MY BREAST FOLLOWING WITH INFECTION THAT CAUSED THE SKIN ON MY BREAST TO OPEN. I CALLED THE SURGEON WHO PERFORMED THE PROCEDURE, BUT HE REFUSED TO SEE ME. HIS STAFF ADVISED FOR ME TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE DR ADVISED TO HAVE THE IMPLANTS REMOVED SINCE THERE WAS MAJOR INFECTION THAT WAS A LIFE OR DEATH MATTER. FINALLY, I HAD THE IMPLANTS REMOVED BY ANOTHER SURGEON, HE SAVED MY LIFE! OF COURSE, I HAD TO PAY FOR THAT PROCEDURE AS WELL AND I AM STILL BEING BILLED FROM THE HOSPITAL. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY, MY DREAM WAS TO LOOK BETTER, BUT THE RESULT IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE. I FEEL DEFORMED, I ONLY HAVE ONE BREAST AND HALF OF THE OTHER WITH SCARS THAT WILL REMAIN THERE ALL MY LIFE. I KNOW ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF DR WHO PERFORMED MY BREAST AUGMENTATION HAD TAKEN ACTION. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW DRS IGNORE PTS AND TREAT A PT LIKE AN ANIMAL, THAT'S HOW I FEEL! HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME ADVISE? OR WHERE CAN I SEEK HELP?
