Well I ended up going to the appointment without my wife just to see what he had to say for himself. Was kind of hoping that he would say how sorry he was for all the mistakes that had been made in his office. I know wishful thinking from a doctor.
He was a bit shocked that my wife was not there. I explained to him why she was not there and that she would not be coming back.
I explained to him about all the mistakes that had been made. Not even a sign of compassion in his face. Even made a statement that we would prefer to keep lawyers out this because nobody comes out ahead on it anyway. Then he had the audacity to say, "I'm not afraid of lawsuits". That pretty much sent me over the edge. but I kept my composure and continued on with the conversation.
We went off to his office to discuss the results of the MRI. I asked about who we might go to for a second opinion. Then he said that we would have a tough time getting one because "there's no money to be made in the second opinion, it's only in the initial consult and surgery." But he did end up giving me the name of at least four other neurosurgeons, not that we have contacted any of them. Guess that pretty much means he's only in it for the money and not the care of ongoing patients.
He gave me the results of the MRI and suggested that my wife go in for a nerve conduction study and gave me the name of someone for that.
Tomorrow she goes in to see another neurologist that was recommended to her by the original orthopedic doctor that sent her to Wayson in the first place. Hopefully we'll find out something. He says unfortunatley the only true way to find out what happended is to open her back up and look at the surgical site. Since none of it will show up on an MRI.
