He Ruined my Life

I has my BBL surgery at laserklinc office in Manhattan (136 east 57th street 10th floor,NY)with dr.Theodore Diktaban,on the day of the surgery they gave me3 pills and kept me waiting in a little room,then later for the surgery was transferred to another similar room,I expected an operating room or something like that, as the procedure was under local anesthesia I could see and hear everythin,apart from the dr.there where 3 more people,a guy who attended the dr. left several times and returned and did not change his gloves,Desiree and the front desk girl entered an left several times with their cellphones without gloves or masks,I already wanted for this to end.
At home the pain was really bad, on Friday Nov19 I texted Desiree,since it was the only number I had to tell her about the pain andfever,she called me to said that it was normal, that her boyfriend just had a knee surgery and his like nothing happened to him,I came to believe that it was normal,the days went by with a lot of pain,hight fever,nausea,I couldn't even eat and the buttock area had a very strong red color and I couldn't even touch it,until Wednesday Nov24 that I couldn't not even move,then I sent some pictures to Desiree,she told me the dr wanted to see me,she sent me this address (365 Madison ave,4th floor NY,when I got there dr Diktaban took sample from my butt,prescribes antibiotics and sent me home,and asked me to comeback to see him the next day,on Thursday Nov25 I returned feeling worse,I told him the fever didn't go down,
What he did it to me later that day,I won't be able to never forget,it was the worse pain I felt in my life(I have two children,I know what pain is)He made a cut in each butt side and injected me with peroxide with something else,I was crying,screaming and begged him to stop, it felt that I was burning inside,he told me"I know it hurts,but I have to do it",fat or pus began to came out from under my left butt side,after that he sent me home and asked me to comeback next day,I came back on Friday Nov 26 and he said it's getting better,but I felt worse ,it was hard for me even to walk,I returned on Saturday Nov27 and he said the same"it is getting better "back home felling worse,pain was out of control with hight fever,my husband decided to take me to emergency room,I call Dr. Diktaban to let him know,and his answer I could not believe,he said if I was sure about my decision,because I don't have insurance,how you gonna paid for it he asked me ,he tried to convince by any way to don't go to the hospital,he asked me to let him try to fix it one more time on Sunday .
At the hospital they said I had tachycardia,a SEPSIS as a result of a strong infection,the gluteal area had a open incisions en each side with saturated gauze with purulent,foul smelling material.
Immediately put me on antibiotics via intravenous,thanks God all the injected fat is gone,I was in the hospital for 13 days in which a thought I would die,all the pain and discomfort during this process was a nightmare,and what to say about the emotional part.I just had an appointment with dr. Diktaban(I don't want to se him),after he examined me,he told me everything looks very good,and he's happy with the results,can you believe it!!!(even if all the fat transferred is gone)
Maybe he has experiene for other types of surgery but not for BBL,and that type of surgery can not be performed in an office,rather no procedure should be performed in that room with all those people coming and going all the time without any care.
It is difficult to overcome all this,specially when I have the scars on my buttocks from the cuts as a reminder of what I experienced.
