My name is Hans,
I broke my hip and needed surgery. I have worked for the same company for 20 years have a wife and 4 children, who are struggling along with me. To make things short my surgeon cut my sciatic nerve in surgery and hid it from me and his colleagues at the time. I am know paralyzed from the knee down, to hopefully correct his wrong doing I had 3 operations at once and over 52 inches of scars on one useless leg that I'll never have use of again, walked in to the hospital and woke up in the worse shape of my life, have been know unemployed for 2 years because I was a sheet metal specialist spent 22 years all of my adult life to become a master of a trade I can no longer be a part of, that alone is so mentally challenging, like the acute pain where nerve was cut and being paralyzed wasn't hard enough, so ladders,roofs,and hights are a thing of the passed and don't know how to become a productive member of my family which is hardest let alone my community that I donated my time, knowledge,and work to. My problem is there is no help out there for me or my family I have been trying for years, the system is working against me I choose to do right in life work, create a family,pay my taxes, stay out of trouble and a surgeon cuts my sciatic nerve I'm sure accidentally, but to hide it and keep it from me is wrong and then for our government not to help me with SSDI or any means of help legally or anything at all is a problem I hope no one else has to ever go through. I walked into the hospital and still almost 2 years later still in physical therapy learning how to walk and 3 surgeries later there's no fix. I don't want this surgeon getting away with this and should not have the chance or availability to lie to even one more patient. This has about ruined my life I'm only 42 and I get around like I'm 70. I can't run/or kick a ball with my kids. I can't take them caving/climbing anymore. I can barely walk down the sidewalk let alone take hikes in the woods. I will never be able to be the man I used to be, and the pain is real physically and mentally and this surgeon should be held accountable are medical field needs held accountable for they're mistakes and lies. Anything is helpful and my family and I will always be great full for any help. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out it's actually longer and worse than what I have said, but I can go on for days
