Thanks Pat for your input.
Ok, here's the update. I went for a second opinions. The gyn doc
agrees that I should go for the surgery since it could damage other
organs. However, she doesn't think that it is a medical error. i have
my record here. The doc wrote on my chart that the insertion was
"difficulty". I left a message to the doc yesterday, she has not call
me back yet. What should I do now?
thanks
