A few weeks ago I had an intense ab workout. When I got home I felt a searing pain in my lower abdomin. I brushed it off as a strained ab muscle, but it was so bad I ended up passing out 3 times from the pain. My wife finally took me to the ER.
When they took my blood work and ran a CT scan on me they said my liver levels were all fucked up, and I was bleeding into my abdomin.
They sent me to a level 1 trauma center, where they perfromed an emergency exploratory surgery on me. They ended up finding 3 benign growths on my liver, and cut of 1/3 of the left lobe.
Thats just the beginning. After I came out of anesthesia, everyone kept coming in and checking on my scar, including the surguical team, yet no one including myself noticed that I was not on any type of anti biotic.
They ended up sending me home with no anti bioticsa whatsoever.
Within 2 days my upper staples were swole up like crazy and they were bubbling puss out of them.
I rushed to my local ER where they ran a CT scan and the ER DR there said she saw debris left in the surgical sight.
She called the level 1 trauma center where I had the surgery done and they sent an ambulance to come get me within 15 minutes (no joke thats how fast)
They must have said something to piss her off because she slipped me a disk with her CT scan results and diagnosis.
As soon as I got to the trauma center, a team of 3 Dr's came in and literally ripped the staples out the infected area, and took out whatever they left in me.
I ended up staying there for 5 days on heavy anti biotics and pain killers. They finally released me a week ago with I huge hole right below my diaphragm. I have to change and pack it 3 times a day. I also ran out of pain killers and they wont refill them.
I also lost 40 lbs. All this because they fucked up and them tried to cover it up. TO bad for them I have copies of the original CT scan. I jut wanted to vent.:banghead:
I had a nice clean staple job, and now I have this because of the infection:
