@Schtajbilo You shouldn't make light of things like this. The karma could turn on you and you could someday become an amputee, and when someone makes poor taste jokes about your affliction, you'll see how amazing it is.

[@deejohnston2150]

Hope you are feeling better now.

[@patrickasplund]

This is why he should have gone to a world class hospital like Yale, Princeton or Dartmouth and not some backwater southern hospital with doctors who didn't graduate at the top of their class or they'd be at Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth or Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital. Hell- Cedar Sinia/Hopkin/UCLA would have been a good choice for a low risk surgery too. I'm so sorry dude. Seriously. I say this because I have 3 friends- 1 older and 2 younger and all within 4 years of me who had accidents as kids and they all went to Wilkes Barre/UVM Hospital and they ALL had rods put in their back. Their life's have been awful ever since. And 2 had the hardware pulled out by Yale and were told that there was no reason a doctor should have put rods in their back. But it turns out that the hardware maker was running a research trial so the doctors had incentives to over prescribe that fix for non- life threatening injuries like fractured disks that should have been braced for 3 months... Same hospital performs more back surgeries than Cedar Sinia... In a state with 600,000 total population and in a town of 17,000... How? But that hospital houses the practices of the entire Vermont medical board- so good luck getting a board hearing on one of their own... Google it. This happens in EVERY small town.

Where did he have the surgery and how did his doctors allow this to happen? Was he wearing compression socks? I know things can go wrong but how did they go this wrong? This guy isn’t diabetic, he isn’t over weight, he is still athletic. This doesn’t make sense.

@@AveryBlackman It just seems nobody is making the connection and others afraid to speak it. This man's career is destroyed. Meanwhile, we are in the experiment and historically a certain people have been targeted. LOOK it up....Where did Margaret Sanger put her first clinic? Who was she affiliated with? What really happened and WHO conducted the Tuskegee Experiment? How did the Spanish flu really spread, where did it start, and who funded it? We aren't a bunch of ra#$%^s. The people installed are and blaming others.
