Not just for yourself, but for everyone else who's going to end up going to him next. Clearly, his ego has reached the clouds and he needs something to bring him back down to earth. He needs to focus on the people he's operating on instead of just the number of surgeries he completes...
That’s exactly my goal. If he’s going to operate, he needs to be more careful with patients. He needs to calm down that nervous energy—all those constant swear words and outbursts while he's badmouthing other doctors during surgery. He even admitted himself that a surgeon needs a steady hand because if a perforation happens, the nose is basically toast. After all the complications following my surgery—everything from heavy bleeding for three days to a literal cyst—I was asking him every single day why this was happening. My gut told me something was wrong, but I eventually trusted him when he called me "sensitive" and said I was just part of that 5% of people who react strongly after surgery and that everything was fine. Even when that cyst appeared, he insisted it was supposed to happen and told me I was just panicking for no reason. I tried to stay positive and thought it would work out. Unfortunately, things just kept getting worse every day, both aesthetically and functionally. He told me I was draining a lot of physiological fluid and if I had to blow my nose, to do it very gently so I wouldn't disturb anything further. When I asked what exactly I could "disturb" and if maybe a perforation had occurred, he said no. So, a month later, I went back to my regular life, but every day got worse. That hole in my nose started dropping significantly, and it began stinging. I sent him a photo to get his opinion because you could literally see from an airplane angle that something was wrong. He didn't respond for a few days, then I called him and he just said everything was fine, that he'd add some fat from my knee to fix it, and that the indentation was just because a cyst formed and dropped once he removed it. I talked to some other people who had surgery, and they all thought what was happening to me was bizarre and told me I should go see someone else. Everyone else breathed better after their surgery, but I was breathing worse, even after he cleaned me out. One person breathed fine, the other struggled, and that second person had been stinging since day one, both during cleaning and generally. I went to the hospital, and after finding out about the septum defect, the fistulas, and all that, he tells me it's nothing and that the doctors I saw don't have a clue. I'll just say the doctors literally crossed themselves when they saw what was done. To go from a minor deviation to these kinds of problems... regardless of whether he was selling coffee in the past, present, or future—that's his business. I just want justice. I want him to be held accountable for his actions and finally admit he messed up, even if it's just saying "it happens to the best of us." Just admit it and stop lying to me, because I am exhausted. I've had enough of breathing through my throat and having to listen to wheezing every time I breathe. The doctors told me it will get worse because the hole will grow and the nose will sink even more, and they gave me emergency treatment. I have to emphasize that after the surgery, I didn't receive any antibiotics for either the first or second time, even though I had a high fever, nausea, and constant sneezing fits. He told me it was normal and I didn't need them. Since the inflammation wasn't treated, it got worse, and pus started forming in the healthy operated sinuses. I have the proof. I have the receipts. And since I have to live with this until my next surgery—which is questionable given how difficult my case is and the months of misery ahead—I want an admission of guilt and accountability. I want to teach all doctors to be more careful during surgery, because one seemingly harmless case can turn into a catastrophe that is nearly impossible to fix.
