I went for surgery that was to repair a urethral stricture, with the expressly stated reason for doing it as being able to be catheterized in a future spinal fusion procedure. I told every single member of my care team this information, and all knew about the spine instability. A Spondylolisthesis diagnosed by their same hospital system.
I woke up in agony screaming before I could see. They put me in a position that allowed my back instability to shift. I was screaming to drop the bed. The nurse told me to calm down.
When I was finally laid flat, I noted I could not feel my genitals and I could not feel about half of my legs or any of my feet. Totally numb.
I was discharged from the hospital 3 days later with a walker because I couldn’t feel my feet and needed assistance to walk for a proc sure that never should have required it.
They billed me $250 for the walker, and never followed my requests to ascertain why I was paying for a walker that was the resulting need of malpractice. This was sent to collections.
I get phone calls weekly about a walker I should never have needed, and should not have been billed for as “outside of network” because it was not pre-approved for an urology procedure.
Who in the fuck assumed a loss of leg function from an urology surgery? Who gets that pre-approved?
