conv: I have an appointment soon with my orthopedic surgeon_comma_ when he's going to tell me whether or not he can operate on my hip. I so want everything to go well_comma_ but am worried he'll say no_comma_ can't do it! I'm seeing my orthopedic surgeon soon and he'll tell me if he can operate on my hip. I so hope he says yes_comma_ but the suspense is killing me! Oh man! What happened to your hip? I fell and fractured it two years ago. My then surgeon botched the operation and I have to use a walker to get around. If this new guy can do something I could walk properly again! Oh my god..I had doctors really mess me up too. I am in a lawsuit. Have you thought about contacting an attorney? From what I've read_comma_ unless it's a class-action lawsuit my chances are practically nil. The surgeon'll just lawyer up. What happened to you? If it's medical malpractice actually you can get a good amount. Mine is still in talks_comma_ it's only been 6 months. Medical malpractice lawyers usually take you on for free if they like your case :) You can always try and you won't be charged if you don't win. It's pretty painless..people killed my child and almost me.. Oh dear lord. How unbearably dreadful! I hope that your lawyer takes that creep to the cleaners. Won't bring your baby back but will hopefully ensure he doesn't do it to someone else. Thank you! I hear you..I didn't want to do it at first...but it's worth it for her..It's a few people I am suing.including midwives. If it prevents another childs death then its worth it! You should really look in too it_comma_ botched surgery and nerve pain can be horrible! I hope you get better!
