    No doubt this surgeon effed up! I've done thousands of laparoscopic surgeries. Gallbladder removal, gastric sleeves, gastric bypass, lots of hernia repairs, ovaries, tubes, pelvic cyst, colon resections, the whole gamet for almost 20years and this doc screwed up no questions asked. You never stick sharp pointed trocars into the abdominal cavity without insuflating first! Residency 101 the reason you do that first is so that you can visibly see the other trocar/cannulas being introduced into the abdominal cavity! In 20years and 5000 laparoscopic surgery procedures I've never seen a aorta punctured that's worst case scenario. This lawyer 100% knew thoroughly this doc screwed up. Zero doubt. Impressive knowledge base by this attorney! Love being retired and getting to play Monday morning quarterback!👍

      THOUSANDS OF PROCEDURES IN ANY "CAREER" REQUIRES MULTIPLE YEARS OF AT LEAST 5 SURGERIES PER DAY EVERY DAY ALL 365 DAYS OF THOSE YEARS AND IF YOU EVEN HAD/HAVE BEEN IN AN "OR" AS A PATIENT GETTING "ELECTIVE SURGERY" A SINGLE TIME YOU'D KNOW THAT ANY "OR" IS ONLY AVAILABLE, STERILE AND PREPPED FOR "ELECTIVE SURGERIES" - WHICH IS 99% OF SURGICAL PROCEDURES PERFORMED ANYWHERE - IS ONLY THAT WAY FOR A HANDFUL OF PROCEDURES "PER WEEK" A MAXIMUM OF 3-4 DAYS PER WEEK AND ALWAYS IN THE "EARLY MORNING" WITH VERY FEW ELECTIVE NON-EMERGENCY SURGERIES EVER BEGINNING AFTER 8 A.M. AND TYPICALLY THE EARLIER THE BETTER SO THE "SURGEONS" THAT ALSO HAVE "CLINIC HOURS" AND "OFFICE HOURS" AND PRACTICES OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL AND HAVING ONLY "SURGICAL PRIVILEGES" AT THE HOSPITAL IF AND WHEN THEY PERFORM ANY "MAJOR SURGERY" WHICH IS ALL "ABDOMINAL SURGERY" NOT INVOLVING A "SCOPE" HAVE "ALL DAY" TO MONITOR AND CHECK ON AND CARE FOR THEIR SURGICAL PATIENTS IN WHAT IS NEVER A FUCKING "MASS PRODUCTION" PROCESS AS YOU ARE IDIOTICALLY, MORONICALLY, OBVIOUSLY, PUBLICLY AND FAR FROM "ANOMYMOUSLY" AND LITERALLY "FRAUDENTLY" FABRICATING A COMPLETELY FAKE "CAREER" IN BECAUSE YOU ARE THE LITERAL POSTER BOY FOR SOMEONE SO IGNORANT AND IMMATURE AND COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THAT FACT THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
      WHICH IS ANYTHING REMOTELY "MEDICALLY LITERATE" ENOUGH OUTSIDE OF YOUR SCIENCE FANTSASY UNIVERSE THAT YOU COULD POST THAT IN A BRIEF MENTION OF A "CAREER" NOBODY THAT ACTUALLY "WENT THERE AND DID THAT" WOULD BE HERE GETTING MORE "MEDICAL TRAINING" FROM A SUPPOSEDLY "EFFED UP'" MALPRACTICE DEFENDANT" INSTEAD.OF THE "C.V." YOU CONCOCTED AND EXPECTED ANYONE BUT YOUR IMAGINARY "PATIENTS" TO BELIEVE, YOU MAY HAVE "PULLED OFF" THE BIGGEST "MEDICAL HOAX" YOU COULD THINK OF BUT THAT ALSO WAS "CREDIBLE" ENOUGH TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE ANYWHERE BUT AN "OPERATION!

    This dr. seems comfortable and used to lawsuits in this clinic; he initially mentioned being a defendant 4 times and winning a few of them. He doesn’t seem concerned or else when telling how he did the procedure and how he missed his target cutting the patient’s aorta. “Her arteries were in an abnormal location”....He’s all about regurgitation of medical knowledge. I’d be wary of getting care at his clinic.

    I had a Roux-en-y performed in 1994--had to go from home in Calif to Salt Lake City for surgery. $12k, insurance paid---worst decision of my life---this procedure s/b outlawed, it's mutilation of the digestive system, threw me immediately, at 42, into sheer onset menopause, caused awful absorption of nutrients which effect worsened as I've aged. Have to eat only when I can go to sleep to escape the nausea (so, only at night), and am unable to absorb nutrients, now severely deficient in many important ones, aged nearly 70. Oh, forgot: Had to have gallbladder removed, appendix removed, implantation of an Intrathecal Morphine Pump, 17 yrs del morphine sulfate to my central nervous system. $ ran out (very expensive), pump battery died--am now in prolonged Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome for life. I will stop here, though that's not the end of the story.

      No this comment is a Snapple fact! I'm actually a surgical nurse at a level 1 trauma & University center in VA, & I have & do work wit a lot of surgeons who are beasts at what they do I mean literally sometimes actually a lot of times I am amazed at some of the things I've helped them do & helped them save wit certain patients but just as u stated there are surgeons who even though they mean well they are just not cut out to really be operating on people! Just my humble opinion though bc I can remember a surgeon we used to have that I worked with a lot & he was actually a pediatric neuro surgeon...so basically he operated on children of all ages brains 👀 right. So he obviously was on the autism spectrum somewhere. He was very precised with somethings, but then with other stuff he would slack on but my uncomfortableness was the fact he would actually shake really bad with hands! Like he is an older gentleman so I don't think he always shook like that but maybe over the years he developed that trimbling thing. But there was no way he still should've been still operating not jus on children but any1 truthfully. So finally he had an outcome that wasn't so positive & finally it was someone's word other than myself & other nursing staff but something big on the record! U kind of felt a lil bad at first bc he lost his operating privileges. Which was a good thing in my opinion bc his mind was still sharp but his body just wasn't willing to function as it used to back in the gap but he was still or rather is still able to see patients in clinic & it prob would've still be ok if he jus sort of could just maybe assist in surgeries like as a guide but not physically touch the patients surgically...if u can understand what I mean but unfortunately it doesn't work like that it's either all or nothing 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Watching this I was initially surprised at the number of various complaints filed against this surgeon, but even though bariatric surgeons are specifically trained to operate on obese patients these types of surgeries are still considered to be intermediate to high risk & now I see why! What a terrible chain of events this patient endured to then to have ITP on top of everything else which is something you definitely don't want a patient to have when they've lost 3 liters of blood. Thanks for the upload it was very interesting.

    This doc screwed up plain and simple. Especially being armed with the knowledge this abdomen had been into many times. He should have known better than to stick sharp trocars into a belly full of adhesions, scarring and distorted anatomy. He had 3 safe options blow the belly up first and visually put his eyes on the belly , seeing the amount of adhesions and scarring could have switched to an open procedure of lastly just not operated I this patient at all. Being a good surgeon sometimes means not doing surgery at all.

    Hopefully people will come to realize how dangerous some of these weight loss surgeries are, and that they need to get to the bottom of what is causing them to over eat, usually an emotional issue. Obesity is more often than not a psychological issue and not a physiologic issues, and should be treated as such. You are only putting a bandaid over an open wound when you do weight loss surgery!

Maybe it would be okay in some type cases, but in medical, you don’t want to sound like you don’t care about what happened to the patient. I actually like the way this guy testified. He was matter of fact and clinical, but he is handling it like it happened, this is a high risk surgery and not everyone will perform these high risk surgeries and then people would be unable to get certain treatments, but high risk surges have a higher incident of complications. There was a complication, this is why, we handled it the best way possible, and this is the outcome. If he just had a bad outcome, I’d be on board with him, but he cut the aorta and he’s been sued 4-5 times in just 2 years, sooooo. But if he would have filibustered, it would have been worse for him. He actually could have been charged criminally with negligence like that nurse that gave a paralyzing agent instead of a sedative. It’s possible.
