I'm sorry if it sounded like I made light of your situation re the hand holding. You needed more in doctoring itself. You had and still have a right to know what happened and why. You have a right to understand why he didn't replace the blood loss. You have a right to know why he removed the hardware he neglected to foretell you about. It does sound like he dropped the ball and his lack of response is surprising. The fact he didn't even know a patient of his was in the hospital???
Suffering is bad enough, suffering at the hands of your surgeon - just shouldn't happen, regardless of ego - regardless of reputation. Perhaps he now fears consequences. It is my understanding that even a doctor apologizing can be construed as wrong doing and thus becomes actionable or evidence.
However, it is doubtful this zebra will change his stripes. He's had ample opportunity. I'm truly sorry you suffered at his hands.
