Horrible, my wife had to have reconctructive breast surgery do to breast cancer. Doctor was late between 20min and 70 min for all but 1 appt. out of 7 so far. So on to surgery day was told 8 hours for surgery, after that got several calls saying there has been a set back but that is all. Finally after 12+ hours of surgery the dr was able to complete only one reconstruction of the two. The better half agreed to go under the knife again to reconstruct the other breast using her inner thigh tissue. The surgery went ok, but before that the surgeon was over a hour late (see a pattern about being late). After about 36-48 hours the alternate doc (not even the surgeon) came by to release her. After about a week at home she went in for check up and was told all is good. A week later went back her breasts and thigh tubes were taken out saying all good ( he never asked or looked at the paperwork to see how much fluid was coming out per 6 hours like he requested). A week later she had a follow up that the main surgeon could not show up for, his assistant looked and said there appears to be some irritation. Was told to apply neosporian to help with that. A week went by, till the follow up. During that appointment the main surgeon came in and out of the appointment(seemed pre occupied) he told his assistant to remove her tube with out asking how much fluid was draining per day (goal is 30ml a day). The better half was still at over 100ml a day. Fast forward 36 hours after removing the tube from her abdomen she is in the hospital with infections because there was no where for the excess fluid to go. The overall surgery is still pending
