Wow, I can't believe what all has been endured. I hope some action is being

taken against that other surgeon. I'm so glad his vacation was more

important. The least he could have done was set up with another surgeon

instead of making you do it. I think this was gross negliect and you really

need to go after them to cover all your bills and such. He could have killed

you. I hope you're better now and obviously still believe in the

surgery....I'm so glad you got help and things worked out. You're a very

stong person...!!
