So.... This happened......

My Fiance was Admitted to Sturdy Hospital Last week Monday. Ends up she needs her Gallbladder removed... a simple enough routine Procedure right? Well.... When I see her after her operation, she has a drain in her side.. odd.... Seems there was complications with the removal and they had to open her up more.. or so they said. After several days they send her for more test and determine that Ohh a clip must of come off one of the Bile ducts and needs to be replaced or her liver is just infected. We're going to send her for a Second operation to go in and look and see.
Soooooooo, 5 hours later I call the Hospital to find out what is going on. I'm going to make a long story short. They went to put a Stent in the bile duct so it could drain naturally... mind you they didn't tell me jack shit about a stent. They told me replace a clip or check the liver. Anyways my girl started to complain about side pains.... They send her for X-rays and find air bubbles in her side.... It would seem while placing the Stent by going through the Bowel.... the Surgeon damaged / Tore / Ruptured her Bowel wall.
Now I am being told these things normally heal naturally but that Just in case it doesn't and she needs another surgery... they are sending her to the Formerly known Boston Mass General Hospital for Observation and safety. IF she does need a 3rd surgery to fix the wall they wanted here with a specialist because that operation is very specific and they don't have much experience with it. Or in short.. IT'S BLOODY FUCKING COMPLICATED, and they don't want to strike 3.
I've talked to several people and we all came up with the same idea. They tried to do her Bladder removal normally and damaged the Bile duct doing so before they were forced to open her up to get it out. They placed a drain in her hoping the duct would heal on it's own but it didn't. So they sent her for another round to fix the Duct. ( At this point I still would of forgiven them ) Now... The new Surgeon while placing the stent.. damages her bowel wall. With that said they need to send her to a high end Hospital to repair the damage done.
To add onto this I am pretty sure I was lied to. First off the drain. I was told they always do this when they open someone up and need to was out the stomach. This is to make sure all the fluid gets out. First off I didn't need a drain when I had my Gastric sleeve. Also my Mother had the same Gallbladder removal and this was long before arthroscopic surgery was a thing and she never needed a drain. Second. Surgeon one told me either a clip came off the Bile duct and needed to be replaced or the liver was infected and just needed time to heal. Surgeon 2 told my girl that her Bile duct was damaged and they were going to have to put a stent into it so it could train naturally and stop draining into the cavity. Finally, again, You don't send someone to BMG for observation. My father was sent there when he fell off a ladder and needed her leg reconstructed. My mother was sent there when she was in a massive accident and needed 300 stitches in her face. I'll bet my savings account she has the 3 surgery.
I've already sent a message off to a Malpractice Lawyer. If there is a case.. this hospital is going to pay.
