Reply to "Dr. David Dietz"

Sydney, sorry about your unfortunate turn of events. Does not sound at all what you were expecting. However, please remember, this site is for support and advice and we are not to wage campaigns against doctors, hospitals, etc..  It is OK to voice your displeasure, just try not to let it go too far.

 

If I recall, you had a history of a lot of complications like Crohn's, fistulas, etc., and you were looking into a number of "last resort" treatments, like hyperbaric oxygen and growth hormone. Granted, removing your k-pouch when you did not consent to it does not seem right. Is it possible that what he found in there gave him no ethical choice? Have you followed up with Dr. Remzi to get his take on the situation? A lot of doctors, and surgeons in particular, have an abundance of arrogance, but that does not make them guilty of malpractice. I am not saying Dr. Deitz was correct, but perhaps there is more to the story.

 

I had staples from the tip of my sternum to my pubic bone. This is not uncommon.
