as a med student this stuff terrifies me. one wrong cut and someone's leg is 3cm different. nope.
fair enough, I take it back. that's a shocker.
yeah nah get stuffed that's not just 'body adjusting', that's negligence pure and simple.
poor woman. hope she gets proper compensation and a second opinion. health professionals need to listen when patients raise concerns.
