[quote:conspiracyorreality:MV8yNTA5MDcwXzQzMzQwMTY2X0Q4OUMxMDky] [quote:Anonymous Coward 50720828:MV8yNTA5MDcwXzQzMzQwMDYzX0E5MzQ4RTJB] A bad outcome doesn't always equal medical malpractice. Your daughter could have had a ton of adhesions due to her endometriosis that could have plastered her colon and bladder walls to her uterus. Damage to the bladder and ureters is a known complication of hysterectomies; damage to the colon, less so, but a risk. Sounds like you had a pretty average gynecologist operate on your daughter, which isn't surprising because most OB-GYNs are average to terrible surgeons. This is going to be hard case to prove malpractice on. Sorry this had to happen. [/quote] As I said previously a well respected nurse said she believed the [b]damage to the bladder[/b] was malpractice. Have done research on this and found damage to colon most definitely malpractice. [b]And to cut it and have it go unnoticed for FOUR DAYS ??[/b] [/quote]

My daughter had surgery for endometriosis this past Tuesday.
She had hoped to have her ovaries left intact but because of the severity of the fibroids (from what I understand) they did a hysterectomy instead. Tried to do it vaginally, couldn't, had to do it abdominally.
Okay, so one of the fibroids was attached to her bladder. In removing it they either cut or tore the bladder resulting in a repair to the bladder and she had to be put on a catheter.
Let me also add here that the doctor who performed the surgery QUIT the day after this surgery. I'd like to know why? Quit voluntarily, let go, or?
She's thinking she'll be able to leave in a couple days but no, not feeling better.
Late last night they did an emergency surgery. Seems the colon had been cut during the initial surgery and had been leaking into her stomach all this time! I'm also told that they removed additional fibroids missed during the first surgery.
They had to remove part of her colon and she now has a colostomy bag in addition to the catheter.
Bladder infections??
Future colostomy???
Medical malpractice????
