neglecting my health? This same surgeon has scheduled me three times for a total abdominal hysterectomy and has cancelled three times for various "excuses" she finds. the first time was because she felt she could not do the surgery herself, the second time was because(and I was nine minutes into going back to the OR) nobody told me I needed a bowel prep, the third time was because the bowel prep was not working as well(it did later that night) due to severe pelvic pain,straining and vomiting. Now she refuses to do this much needed surgery at all! I was told my uterus is necrotic and my pain liable to get worse if I don't have the uterus and cervix completely removed. 4 other gynes agree but this one was more equipped to handle the surgery being she is also an oncologist and gynecology surgeon. But she just keeps giving me excuses and says "yes you have a problem which won't improve". I can't pee or poop at all due to my uterus pressing on things and have repeatedly been in the ER for intractable pain and spasms. I need to cath and my BMs require manual removal which she totally acknowledges the uterus IS the problem but her excuses continue and my health is just getting worse!! Can I sue? Her excuses range from a few adhesions to so called diverticulitis(I don't think I have this and she won't do any tests to find out, only excuses).
without the hysterectomy, I will die as my uterus is necrotizing and have many tests to prove it is and surgery is needed.
