I would have sued, but have never been in that overwhelming experience, so couldn't say how I would react. __________________ 4mg of Morphine a day keeps the doctor away.

Sorry this happened to you. Surgeons can be idiots at times.

They treated me like sh**, and even after everything I had already been through. That one neurosurgeon who told me to go home, should be ashamed of himself. I will never forget that!

The neurosurgeons weren't listening to her either when she told them, "every time I move my head I vomit". They kept saying it wasn't the shunt. She got more and more ill, and they finally tapped her shunt which revealed meningitis. But the poor thing was so ill, and they wanted to ignore her. I have no respect for those neurosurgeons whatsoever! __________________ 4mg of Morphine a day keeps the doctor away.
