Sad, will continue to pray. All this came from a botched hernia surgery?

So sorry to hear the latest update.  I am, and I know a lot here are very saddened to hear him going in this direction. I keep thinking things HAVE TO improve now.

Damn! I missed a call from Doug on the 24th and couldn't get back to him until today. Now I see this update and all I can say is DAMN!

Hang in there Doug!

Jesus I wish he could catch a break!

Not really a botched surgery. The fucking doctor knew exactly what he was doing. He implanted a material that had been pulled from the market for two years due to known dangerous side effects. He fully failed to inform Doug of the risks and potential side effects. When Doug's body rejected the material, text book symptoms of rejection, he discounted Doug's claims and blew him off. When Doug went into renal failure the doctor cleaned his books and denied any and all conversations or implications in the matter. That put Doug at the will of the local medical system that wants to have NOTHING to do with the material that was implanted in Doug. Including doing anything to save his life!

No, the surgery was not botched. The doctor was playing god and fixed Doug up "good" for the rest of his life. The doctor will never own up to this and the system will do everything in it's power to protect him and vilify Doug.

This burns me big time!

I know at least three dudes who have had a mesh install in the last say five to six years.  They seem to not have any issues but after all this bs that Doug is going through I (they) wonder what their options are as far as leaving it there, having it removed, etc...

The are common surgeries, but no such thing as routine surgery.

Such great news.



Lots of prayers need to be sent out this day.  Doug gets some of them.

***update #10**
Received a text from Doug about a hour ago. he is still in Miami but as he put it.."I have finally turned the corner on this battle for my life and it's looking like I will be able to return home by the end of this week."
I told him some of our florida members were asking which hospital he is in so they could stop by. I will let you know when I find out.

Thanks for keeping this thread so detailed. Just found out a coworker might have a similar problem. Hernia surgery roughly 5 years ago, has had lasting pain ever since. He's going to a different hospital soon to see what the issue might be, I told him about Doug's case and said to make sure they check for problems with the mesh.

Inguinal hernia I had repaired 18 months ago has busted back through the mesh and I'm going to see someone at the state medical college for unexplained abdominal pain. This thread should be a warning to all about this crap mesh they're putting in people.

Prayers out for Doug.

Talked with my friend yesterday-doctors at the second hospital did an MRI and couldn't tell him anything about why he's still having pain issues. Legitimate "I don't know" or a "cover our asses while we can" conspiracy? It's pretty well documented this shit causes problems inside women, common sense says it's bad inside men too.
