I think that the patient should press charges against the surgeon. It's much more than only which insurance covers the cost of TKR operation: it's both the physical and physiological damages done to the patient, plus the cost of the future risk (increased insurance premium, treatment costs, lost income due to future problems, pain & suffering).
I disagree wholeheartidly that no matter how much a doctor screws up your life they should get away with it. You go into surgery trusting your doctor and what he tells you.
In my case it wasn't what the surgeon did but what he did not do that has left me crippled.
Why do you think doctors have malpractice insurance. To cover their butts that's why.
There are bad doctors out there that need to be held accountable and it is too bad that the good ones have to suffer in the process, but that is life. Good people suffer becauseof bad people's mistakes.
I thnk the same person that screwed up my thread is trying to screw up this one. My advice would be to write to the Moderator and have them removed from your thread. We are here to help each other and we don't need people putting poisones venom into the mix.
