How come they cant approach all the scar tissue like a burn? Where they take the bad tissue (like the necrotic tissue of a burn), and graft a whole new section of skin? Then, the scarring should only be localized to the new graft? 🤔🤔🤔 (like they use skin from the leg, butt, or stomach correct?).

​@@triciac1019 Doing their jobs the way they're supposed to isn't remarkable. Keeping a list of all items used on the patient and then counting them afterwards is standard practice. If a nurse fails to do that (or whoever has been assigned the job) that's negligence, and if a nurse says something is missing it would be ridiculous for the surgeon to ignore them.

The gauze situation happened to my mom. Her orbital bone was badly broken ( a while different story ) so she had to have surgery. While outwardly she healed, the pain kept increasing. Then, the area suddenly started swelling again. After 4 months of going back and forth from the surgeons office, the E.R. and the dentist, (she was told that it must be dental pain), not sleeping, barely eating, ans in extreme pain, she called the surgeons office, yet again, in tears. They said they would review her chart and get back to her. As she was hanging up, she even heard them saying she was just trying to get pain meds 3 days later, they demanded that she come in right that minute. She told them that she was on her way to the E.R. again and was only 10 mins from there vs. coming to them, 45 mins in the opposite direction. When she asked if they could just call ahead to the E.R. or tell her what needed to be told to them, they said that she needed to come there and nowhere else. Immediately. Once she got there and they saw how much weight she had lost within 2 weeks, how swollen her face was and that she looked ready to fall over, their demeanor had totally changed. They were suddenly very nice and gentle, with an air of walking on egg shells, but still wouldn't tell her what was going on. When the doctor came in, he told his assistant that my mom was going to feel some pulling but that it was normal. Then, he proceeded to pull this long ass gauze out of my mom's check, from inside her mouth. He just kept pulling like a damned magician's scarf. They had left a 5'+ long strip of packing gauze in her face! She said it was foul and obviously covered in purulent goo. The doctor hurriedly irrigated the area, wrote a script for antibiotics and painkillers (my mom hates pain meds) and got the he'll out of there Saying, as he left the room, to get her out of there. She said he didn't meet her eyes or speak directly to her even once! She was left sitting, mentally spinning and in pain. Only the nurse looked at and spoke dirrectly to my mom. She quietly apologized for her ordeal and explained to her what had happened. She also advised my mom to get her records a.s.a.p. and to take legal action. 2 weeks later, once my mom was feeling somewhat better, she went to get her records. All it said was that she had the surgery 6 months before, that she was still having pain at her check-up, and that she needed antibiotics that resolved the issue at her next check-up. Lies on lies on lies. They didn't 'lose' her records but they sure as hell scrubbed them clean.

When I was growing up, there were multiple instances of omissions on my chart regarding things I brought up to the doctor that they ignored. The most notable was when a kid twice my size fell on me when I was 14 (I'm very small) and I felt something wrong with my rib (sharp pains and couldnt take deep breaths). I was in dance at the time, and my mom scheduled an appointment with a specialist to look at my rib and knees. They brushed off the rib saying theres no way anything could have happened... 4 years later I dropped out of dance due to spine pain and couldnt turn my head or bend my spine and one day when I carried in the groceries something happened in my back where I suddenly couldnt walk or move without EXTREME pain. Turns out I had a partial dislocated rib (it was turned) which was pulling on my spine and causing muscle spasms. When we tried to go after the doctor who ignored it, their records showed no signs of me going in for my rib AND knees. Only my knees. Luckily, my pregnancy last year actually fixed it a bit by pushing it more or less back into place - until then I had to be very careful about posture and continue to stretch daily to maintain mobility. While in the womb my son would lean against my bad rib whenever I was laying down and his slowly increasing body weight pushed it back gently enough not to cause pain or damage. My baby boy truly is a miracle for me! 🥰

Some doctors don’t listen to concerns. I had it happen too. It was a blood clot in my leg and the doctor kept telling me I didn’t have a blood clot and I insisted so he sent me for a scan and there was a blood clot in my leg which potentially could kill me.

[@chippychin]

@@u4riahsc I have had several blood clots in my life, starting at 18 (I have a blood disorder). Last year I had pneumonia, which was followed by a pain in my leg. My lung Dr listened to me when I said it feels like a clot (pneumonia can cause clots), and he sent me to get an ultra sound. The ultra sound tech was very distracted, even talking on the phone at one point. When she finished, I said you didn't do an area behind my knee. She said it was fine, and sent me out. I'm not a bold person so I left, and waited for result, which came back negative. That was Friday. Over the weekend the pain became very serious, and Monday I went to the emergency, where they did an ultra sound. The man didn't do the whole leg, so this time I got bold and pushed back a little. He said I'm quite confident with my results. I was so busy being crushed I missed the hint in his demeanor. I went back to the bed and cried. A bit later the Dr came back and said I had a clot that ran from my lower shin to well above my knee. Because that woman didn't look in that area she missed a tiny little clot that turned into a monster that has forever changed my life. Clots never fully go away, they leave scars.

Surgeons also usually check an area pretty thoroughly before they close up.

A family friend had open heart surgery when I was 10 or 12. She ended up getting a mrsa infection had to be reopened up and cleaned out etc. After a while she felt something in her chest and eventually it started poking her skin. At a checkup the Dr ended up removing a piece of wire that had been left inside her chest. Attorneys said it was unlikely she could win a case. Apparently a man had the wrong leg amputated and lost that lawsuit (idk how that’s possible) so the attorney didn’t feel her case had a chance. It’s wild what Drs get away with.

The best thing you can ever do is write a review wherever the doctor has listed their name looking for people to practice on. Unfortunately if you settle a lawsuit out-of-court you usually have to sign a NDA and your family is included. However it doesn't stop you from saying the truth which is I went to this person and I ended up with a facial injury. Reiterate that all skin is different & ask the doctor what can be done that doesn't require fillers injections surgery etcetera so that you age naturally. If they don't want to work with you in a natural setting than they aren't worth their practice. This can get you around the NDA and gives you the opportunity to tell it like it was for you. It'll possibly make people think twice. If you have a great friend like mine she posted on line because I did end up having a severe medical accident that left me on oxygen since a 25yr old twit didn't believe the MRI from the previous hospital. She went online & left a review stating that she was best friends with a patient who was left on life support for the rest of her life since this guy didn't listen to me for a year to my complaints about my feeling like I was walking through water. It turned out that my asthma had become increasingly worse and I also had walking pneumonia for a year which turned into full-blown 5 lobe infectious viral or bacterial pneumonia and she explained everything. She left her name so she could be contacted and she didn't care because I didn't sue and I didn't sign an NDA as I was too ill to do anything for 7 years. It was with a vicious HMO that waits till you die to settle & basically I was so sick I couldn't think at all. Sadly the statute of limitations ran out before I was able to rehab myself well enough to do anything about it which is just within the last 6 months.

Until one day we saw a doctor in a small village where we were staying for vacation, and he told my mum "I'm gonna try something a bit risky but I hope it helps". He shoved a long pair of tweezers down my ear and removed a big mass that was yellow and "infected". Turns out a baby-sitter cleaned my ears with q-tips and didn't notice that a piece of cotton stayed behind. As time passed it retained everything: water from the pool, shampoo, eardrops etc... I was instantly relieved. It's crazy the damage a tiny foreign object can cause!

What a strong woman physically and emotionally bcuz her body reacted in a terrible way but that could've been deadly from infection. I'm happy she finally has some relief and that the gauze was hopefully the culprit and she can heal. Bless the doctors/surgical team who took on her case.

[@TrinaGallo]

Thinking same exact thing!

[@Cherrysmith2809]

Some infections or foreign bodies become loculated, meaning our body’s immune response produces a thick layer of gunk that seals off the offending substance.

[@NanaD-ve9tt]

@@Cherrysmith2809 oh ok thanks that makes sense now. remember he pulled out that thick chunk of scar tissue then found that gauze.Guess even though she went through so much , at least it wasn’t infection that allowed sepsis bcuz you can die fast. Our bodies are amazing and strange all at sane time

[@Cherrysmith2809]

@@NanaD-ve9tt Here’s another thing that can happen with loculation, because it happened to me. Four months after abdominal surgery, I suddenly became septic. Although no cause was found, the doc thought it could have been related to the surgery, and the surgical infection loculated, but then burst open four months later, causing a large amount of bacteria to enter my bloodstream. My only symptom was a precipitous drop in BP to 80/50. I was on the verge of passing out. I had a friend drive me to ER. I ended up on IV antibiotics for five days in hospital.

[@ChallieWallie]

That's because it wasn't infected. Sepsis occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream. For bacteria to enter the bloodstream, there has to be an infection. The gauze was sterile. The body responded because it didn't belong there, but it is still sterile. Big difference between inflammation and infection ;)

[@lisawilson105]

This is terrifying. Imagine dealing with this nightmare. Thanks for the reminder to never get fillers or any of it. I’ll be happy with being a pretty little old lady rather than looking at the long term outcome of jumping into procedures while I am aging.

My gyn left a large piece of sanitary pad in my vagina following suture after episiotomy. Being a first time mum, I thought the discomfort was normal. I noticed the pad about 5 days later and I pulled it out myself. The amount of clots that followed was insane. I even became comfortable thereafter.

I was looking into having maxillofacial surgery years ago and read some patient experiences online to get an idea of the recovery. This one lady kept getting infections after her surgery and eventually they found a piece of bone had broken off and gotten into the sinus below the eye and was not noticed at the time it happened. Put me off the surgery 100%.

I was looking at getting rhinoplasty. I've broken my nose several times and can't breathe well. After seeing two surgeons who suggested I get a chin implant to balance out my face.

[@dorahenderson7255]

I actually almost fainted.May God bless you ❤😢

[@maryannanderson2213]

I think the lesson to be learned here is to not let a friend perform a medical procedure on you. She didn't say a friend, she said a "colleague" but that's close enough. I don't think the colleague is the one who left the gauze in her cheek because if he was merely giving her injections, I don't think he would have had any reason to perform any surgery on her. However, the injection was what started this whole thing and that was done by her friend. I have some really good friends but if I ever need an appendectomy I will NOT be going to one of them.

[@jbell6852]

A lot of bad luck though because she was double wronged - one the colleague, and two the surgeon.

[@mumo9413]

I remember in my training, xmas eve 1990, last case of the day! Counting out instruments & swabs. One swab missing! Had to wait 1hr for on call radiologist! There it was, raytex strip showing from moblie x-ray! Sutures taken out until we found the swab! Successful outcome! This was clinical negligence!

[@emilyevans6989]

I just love this channel! I don’t begrudge ANYONE having ANY procedure that makes them feel good about how they look! I personally can’t imagine having a needle (shudder) put into my face. When I saw what this lady has gone through I felt so bad for her. I hope she heals well now. Gauze left in her face? I get weak kneed and my stomach feels funny. 🤢

[@michellesgarden5695]

I had parasagittal craniotomy ..a piece of gauze / swab was missing when they did count...my surgery had been a failure n extra drs called in. They think the gauze went out on someones foot ...after getting me back from recovery...reopening my head to check it wasnt in there....thank goodness neurosurgeons check!!

[@vickiweber4718]

I saw the thumbnail, and morbid curiosity definitely got the better of me. I sure as heck hope she found a good lawyer for a malpractice suit. I believe it's also seven years in Indiana regarding retaining medical records. In the digital age, once they've gone, they're gone. After my brother was hospitalized, I asked my FNP if she was able to pull up an x-ray or MRI I had done about a dozen years before. Unfortunately, it was gone by then.

[@clairep3688]

If she had multiple surgeries with multiple doctors there’s no telling if she could prove which one left behind the gauze. In my non professional opinion it seems like she might have a case against the last surgeon she saw before going on botched because they definitely either left the gauze or missed it and didn’t remove it.

[@shellyslioneyes]

Always get a copy. They are free. One or two weeks after from place you had it done. The MRI on a disc/CD and report. I have all mine. I say I need it for a 2nd opinion.

[@stacyfrederick9183]

I will tell you a better one than that. The Civil War was not fought over slavery, but states rights. Slavery was just the issue at the time that brought states rights to mind. These state generated statues of limitation should be illegal. They are certainly immoral. Federal law should prevail. Since this can potentially be a matter of life or death; the federal government should not be able to impose a statue of limitations either. There are no statues of limitation on murder is there? This is going to become a Supreme Court case. I can tell. It is going to happen. Another thing. There are all these smart-ass naysayers that say oh you shouldn't legislate from the bench. Oh really? Well Congress is a circus if you ask me. The executive branch is influenced by their cronies. Such important rights as abortion was left to a single Supreme Court case with no recourse if the make up of the court changed because the members were replaced by the new incoming president and vacancies were open because of age, disease, death, retirement. So we are left with a Constitutional amendment for what is important. Even that is no guarantee. So we all need to fly the American flag upside down and backwards and at half staff as a sign of international distress. All citizens need to pursue and claim political asylum in their own country and garner international protection from their government and the protection of the federal government at the same time or "secede" from the Union without being considered a traitor. The state of Texas can legally do it and so can liberal ass California. Confused by now? You should be. I am the worst nightmare of both liberals and conservatives: I am more rare than a unicorn. I am a moderate Republican and an independent voter. Stick that one in your ear and smoke it. Better yet, get some weed for the special occasion! Ha!

When something like this occurs, what are the legal options available for someone who experiences a botched surgery? Does she have any legal rights or did she sign them away on a document provided by the surgeon or plastic surgery center? How can a surgeon legally get away with this in America? Thank you, Dr. Youn, for sharing this video and your insights.

[@stacyfrederick9183]

They shouldn't get away with it. Being forced to or talked into signing such documents should be illegal. You shouldn't have to give up legal rights. After all, the Miranda rights give those accused of a crime the right to remain silent. But what if you are the victim of a crime? And forced to be further victimized by the criminal that perpetrated acts against you? To benefit the criminal? Surely the Geneva convention says something about that? Get educated people.

[@xuanzhencat]

When I signed consent forms for my plastic surgery, I didn’t sign away my rights. The forms asked me to confirm that I understand surgery is dangerous and may be a risk to my health and life, consent to an emergency physician being called in in case something happens during the surgery, answer whether or not my beliefs permit blood transfusion, and finally consent to the actual surgery. It didn’t say anything about not suing if it goes wrong.

The lesson is to get copies of all medical docs you can get your hands on. In UK you can access your GP meds and it's a good practice to check them as soon as they update to make sure everything that should be there is there. Don't know how it works in US but getting a copy should be possible?
