Shebo i feel really bad for you. It is crazy that a surgeon would not see you because you already had surgery by another doctor. Just nuts. don't think i would go to that guy now.
I did have thoracic VATS done by DrRegan and must tell you some accident happened during surgery and now i only have 45% lung capacity which sucks as i love to exercise and am out of breath walking up my stairs. Well accidents and complications do happen.
What made and still makes me really mad about DrRegan is that he NEVER came to see me in the hospital even though i was put on a respirator . He actually left me a message (wrong cell) saying every thing was ok. I was on a respirator and they were not sure i was going to make it at the time!!!!! Never came for the 2 weeks i was in the hospital and his staff called and said i must come in because he was going out of town. well i invited him to the hospital, and he was a no show. When i was well enough to go see him, he never owned up to something happening to me. Not my choice of a surgeon.
