Loss for Words PTSD

Patient care and comfort is NOT your priority. I went in last Saturday for my pre-op visit. Dr. David Allison was my surgeon. I told him at that time that it takes more than a normal dose for me to be numb. I then went in 2 days ago for my Trisculpt procedure. When you do they give you a cocktail of meds from Xanax to Oxy, then they have you sign and initial papers for the procedure (yeah, after you have been drugged). The nurse then brings you to a room where you lay on the table. They then proceed to numb you. The doctor didn’t even ask me if I was numb or even if I was ready, he didn’t even wait for the numbing to kick in. He just began jabbing me. I screamed for him to stop. I begged him to stop and he ignored me. No one should ever have to feel that pain. You know usually when you go to the dentist they at least wait 5-10 min for the stuff to kick in and to make sure you don’t feel anything. They also stop if you do feel any sort of pain. I know this isn't the detest but this surgeon he didn’t care. I felt everything. And it felt like someone was taking a metal garden rake and pulling my insides out. I screamed the entire time begging him to stop. A good surgeon would have stopped and numbed me up more. You are not supposed to feel anything. When he was done, I was sobbing. They showed me how much they took and it was 3 liters. Said they only took 3 because of how much pain I was in, like [RS bleep]? So he was fully aware of how much discomfort I was in. So, I spent $14,000 to literally be tortured. That night I spent the entire night trying not to leak fluid on things. My bathroom looked like a crime scene. The next day I broke after the adrenaline wore off from the day before and I sobbed all day it was like having PTSD from the experience. I have been reliving that pain and experience over and over… and begging him to stop and he didn’t. I left an email to my sales consultant who forwarded it to the practice manager who finally reached out to me and I just cried. I have no words to describe the feeling or experience. I can’t sleep now because I am reliving the horrific event over and over. I have had to turn my mirror around because every time I look at my body I relive this horrific experience. And every time I do, I want to cry. I honestly just want a refund. NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE should have had to experience that. I don't wish that type of pain on my worst enemy. I didn’t pay 14 grand to be tortured and now have to probably seek therapy for PTSD from the horrific experience.
