I started seeing Dr Dennis Hurwitz in 2005; I had numerous procedures i.e., Abdominoplasty, different forms of lipo & was pleased. Paid by my now ex husband... Went through a divorce and decided to get breast augmentation surgery and it was a gift from a good friend. Surgery was done August 31, 2015 I developed an infection mid Sept contacted doctor sent me to hospital to get chest x-ray after he wasn't pleased with the way it was healing the infection in my incision line underneath the right breast ...was called into surgery the next day October 1, 2015 because I developed a staph infection and I was not told why staff infection developed I was only told it sometimes happens. Dr. Hurwitz in the staff remove the implant flush with anabiotic's and put the same in plant back in and after that I had nothing but pain burning tingling sensation's in my arm hand loss of strength in my right hand pain in my shoulder therefore I underwent pain management with Dr. Hurwitz where he would mail me my scripts for opiates and benzo's had numerous nerve blocks in my brachioplexus area intercostal rib four and five I believe ... I start to become very very very concerned now and asked if I should contact my neurologist and you would think after seeing the doctor for 10 years he would've known that I was seizure free for 20 years and had this neurologist for a long time I really thoughtHe paid attention to me as a person not just "$$$.."
Thank God I didn't listen to Dr. Hurwitz as he did not want me to go see my neurologist until after there was nothing else he can do except give me pain pills I was complaining of pain and burning sensation as stated above I did contact my neurologist he had me undergo a nerve conduction test on my right hand and arm including a shoulder I had a MRI with and without contrast on my right shoulder only to find out I have nerve damage in my right arm ( that was discovered to the nerve conduction test and Dr. Hurwitz said that was only going to be temporary that was in October it's now may) and loss a lot of my strength in my right hand and a partially torn rotator cuff. It is now May 2016 I am still having issues after receiving numerous pain medications nerve blocks from Dr. Hurwitz only to find out that I was deceived. I believe in human error and I really thought Dr. Hurwitz and his staff genuinely cared about me and my well-being only for him to turn around and say I did this because I was insecure with myself and I was going through divorce. My parents were not happy because I've had nothing but problems so my parents have a contact in attorney and Dr. Hurwitz of course used my divorce as a crutch. My implants I like it a lot. They are Sentra textured silicone implants 415cc left breast & 440 right breast. I really am hurt because I thought Dr. Hurwitz and stuff genuinely cared about me as I stated above I only contacted the attorney because my parents are generally concerned about my overall health so where I stand now is I take no rotten from nerve pain and still a low dose of painkillers to take the edge off I still cannot sleep on my right side without waking up and having pain in the incision line in the right breast and burning still. It's now several months later last time I seen Dr. Hurwitz with the Cember 24th 2015 where you get the nerve blocks and continued pain medication therapy as per stated above I'm on Neurotin from my neurologist 4the nerve pain that helps a bit ( Side effects are horrible because I have a weak stomach but ITs Worth it because it takes some of the discomfort away ) and now I have chronic pain in my shoulder due to the partial tear in my rotator cuff that was not their prior to my August 31 surgery which was the initial surgery and then the emergency surgery on October 1 the partial tear in the rotator cuff was discovered on January 31 via MRI when I seen Dr. H on 24 December of 2015 he told me I have scar tissue in there that we need to be removed but now because of the malpractice suit that I discontinued because I just don't have the energy to do much anymore my mother helps care for me and my home as well as my father have issues going back to work I'll because the doctor that I trusted for 10 years left surgical guys inside of me and let it sit there for 34 days so now every time I get a cold I had to be put on antibiotics particularly Flex because of its potency so I don't develop another staff infection and God for bid. My point of this is no way for anybody to have to live if Dr. Hurwitz would've been 100% honest and said the surgical gods was left inside of me and they need to remove it I would have no issue with that because I believe in human error but the fact that I asked him several times of something was left inside of me because of the x-ray tech asking if I had metal on my breast after I had that x-ray in the last day of September 2015. My life has completely changed due to this I can't do the normal things that I used to do I'm not asking for money I would like to have an apology for the dishonesty talk to her which was always paid in full Beva cash when I was married and he was also paid for the augmentation surgery because it was a gift from a friend. I'm very confused as to what to do next there's nothing left for me to do I don't want to get rotator cuff surgery I do physical therapy that's not helping I have a life and I need to be able to live and function and it's not fair that his doctor gets away with this and who knows who else he could've gotten his two and took a bandage of them and their situation like my vulnerability to my divorce proceedings as feel very deceived as he and his staff knew about my issues with becoming a mother as I confide in them and they were very caring to me so that's why am in complete utter shock as it's why I have to suffer now. He will not see me back nor will I go see him because I'm terrified to have any type of surgery now because I have nightmares that something else is going to be left inside of me and I could die hence the reason why he put me on Xanax in my neurologist continue that for me as well because Dr. Hurwitz won't care for me anymore because of the malpractice suit that I discontinued because I believe all people make mistakes all I'm looking for is an apology in some answers as to what I can do next I don't want to live my life in pain anymore I should be able to lay on my right side I should have pins and needles in my arms and my shoulder and my hand on the right side all the time it's no way for anybody to live I can't even put my make up one without having to take a break every five minutes I'm only 38 years old I should not be going through this. I know that there is scar tissue in there as well as replying but the bread when I understand as normal I also undergone from my primary care physician ultrasounds on the right breast monthly to make sure I don't have an infection in there still just to be on the safe side now I want to have it looked at but I need to find I need to find a trusting plastic surgeon that is good with they do and is not going to deceive me will be hundred percent honest with me I was told that the implant sizes that were chosen were based on with the machine in my body frame was the proper measurements and then in the malpractice paperwork he saying that they were too large for my body which they are not he's the one that suggested the size it's hence the two different size415 mL left side for 440 mL right side because the left breast was a little bit fuller so he decided to put a little less than that side. Are there any plastic surgeons that I can trust out here in the Pennsylvania area that will see me and potential he help me because I believe the scar tissue maybe causing issues more issues I don't know I'm very scared I don't like living like this I want to go back to work I want to be able to play with my dogs and take care of my home and have all of my life. I just want this to be known that I do believe in human error when I don't believe in is liars specially if this been your doctor if you've confided in and became not only a patient but a friend of theirs after 10 years. So I hope there's a plastic surgeon out there that we would want to see me and look at my incision lines which are healed in look great but it's a constant battle every day and night with the discomfort
