I have a little P.S. here...When the 'biggest French Viseral surgeon' did my k pouch revision in 2000 and moved the stoma up to my bellybutton (yup!) and litterally caused a functional stoma disaster...I asked the nurse what/why...(he did the same thing to a lot of patients with permanent ileos too)...she said that 'for a surgeon, from the moment that he has to create an ostomy, it is admitting failure...failure to heal or cure the patient and therefore he tries to get it out of the way as quickly as possible and doesn't care where he puts it...for him it is all the same...and he hates ostomies'.
With medical professionals holding that sort of opinion/attitude how do you want most patients to feel?
It is tragic and a shame but it is..
