Lost testicle due to


Blood flow cut off during hernia repair.

Still not back to work, surgeon blamed previous hernia repair.
So, I have an appointment with a lawyer to discuss
malpractice.
Any advice?

1. The lawyer's advice is the only advice that's really worth anything.

Be sure you have all your medical records is the only thing I can suggest.

No, NO.  We want to hear DU advice!  Shut up!

3. Did the surgeon address the risk of tesicle loss prior to surgery?

It's always a risk in inguinal hernia surgery, a very low risk, but it's something I always discuss with patients prior to surgery. A recurrent hernia repair increases that risk because of scaring.

Im sorry for this struggle you're going through. If I can be of any assistance I'd be happy to help.

5. no

Then when I repeatedly called, and was seen by her nurse, was told that I had nothing to worry about.
After 4 calls/visits, they scheduled an ultrasound.
Where they found a blood starved testicle.
Oh, the pain was pretty bad.

4. Get a notebook

Start writing everything down - sometimes these things take much longer than anticipated and details begin to fade over time. Good luck, please take care.

Day 1:  Woke up to bust a nut, realized I only had one nut to bust.

Day 2: Still only one nut, second not has not grown back on its own, in spite of my best efforts

Day 3: ???

7. Get your medical records

It might cost you but it is worth it.

Then contact an attorney specializing in medical malpractice. Be aware that their contingency fee is generally 30-40% of any judgment against the provider.

No one here is qualified to give you any other advice. The attorney will decide whether or not you have a case.

A small correction if I may:  No one at the DUmp is qualified to give advice on ANYTHING.  I've been surfing the DUmp for damn near ten years now, and I can probably count on one hand the times I've seen good advice given on your board.  The rest of the time it's been a bunch of losers trying to muddle their way through life, while keeping the blame card at the ready in their back pocket the entire time. 



Finally, it gets better:

8. I saw a malpractice lawyer

And he needs to have an independent look-see. I understand that this is a process.
I have a small hernia that was discovered at the ultrasound that discovered the dead testicle.
I have an appointment Monday with a different general surgeon.
I am going to have to go back to work.
I live in my truck, and have been paying 500+ per week for a long stay motel.
If he doesn't release me, I will no longer be able to pay my bills AND the hotel.
So, homeless...
I have responded to 50 or more Craigslist ads.
No one wants a guy just out of surgery.
Depression is creeping in.

That phrase alone strikes terror in the heart of any DUmmie

It's always a risk in inguinal hernia surgery ...

IIRC, an inguinal hernia happens during gestation, and one or both testicles does not descend from the abdomen into the scrotum. It's usually detected and corrective surgery soon after birth. How'd this DU-member get to adulthood (insert joke here) without it being detected and fixed (insert joke here)? Am I misinformed?

I blame Obamacare.

Or a good idea for a poem.

Oops, someone already beat me to it.

My newest poem....**Caution! Erotic content!**
Advertisements [?]

 
Such strength   

The masculine facade

Sharp flashing eyes

Tender fingers and tongue


The man dominates me.

His body, his mind

Overcome me.


He strokes, and licks, and drinks me.

And then he enters


I open and yield myself

I surrender to his strength, his passion.

My mind is overcome with what I cannot tell...


But it’s wrong


I dominate him.

For at the last–who yields?


At the peak of passion

He empties the aching seed

Into me...

Good heavens, Demar! That should have had a 5- advance warning!

Thinking on the factoids claimed by "DiverDave" (I do NOT want to know the etymology of that forum name! ), he'd best file a small claims lawsuit. The prospects of the kind of 6-7-figure judgment that would interest a malpractice leech-lawyer are Slim and None. Slim left town and None is hiding in a convent.

Dude, you're a DUer, your testicles died years ago.

Did you look in your shoe for it?

Try putting an ad in the lost & found, Reward for my testicle.

You can always ask TMN for help after all he lost his balls years ago explaining the impotent rage.

His Johnson is on a walk-about, which also explains the requirement that he squat to pee.

Yeah,  I caught that.  Pretty dumb for a doctor.

Depression is creeping in.

If I understand this correctly the patient has had two hernia surgeries to date. I gather this from the fact that the present surgeon is blaming the LON (loss of nut) on a previous hernia operation.

Then, after hernia op #2, I would guess that (after much weeping and gnashing of teeth), an ultrasound was ordered to find the source of the PIN (pain inthe nut). This confirmed the LON and also, according to the above, revealed another (smallish) hernia. Why, given the nature of the DUmmies isn't this one plainly stating the he/she/it has a third hernia?

Another thing, there isn't any sending out of bad vibes to the surgeon which is another mystery. Intentional less drama which is hard to explain. What about disability benefits in lieu of a job search?

If the patient has an LON still residing in the old nut sac, wouldn't you think he would want that removed tout de sweet? Like today? But the patient is apparently just out of the OR since he /she/it sez no one will hire the new post op patient. Why then wasn't the busted nut removed then and why would the patient even be talking about work when another procedure is certainly imminent? I'm calling BS on that one.

Dude should just get the other taken off as well and then go full tranny...unless he finds something wrong with trannies.
