Patbear, I finally found an out-of-network doctor who does not work with an insurance carrier. He diagnosed the right vaginal as pulled and irritated and my pudendal nerve as inflamed. I'm working with a licensed acupunturist/herbologist to not only boost my immune system, but to heal the inflamation. The tricky part is working around my metal allergies. However, even my doctor agrees alternative medicine is the route to go for the inflamation.
After a bad experience with an in-network doctor I hoped would work in conjunction with the out-of-network doctor, (She was trying to protect the doctor who botched the LEEP and was openly hostile to me. I don't believe she ever intended to help me.) I decided to reread every piece of documentation I had, which included bills. I learned I was given sutures, but they weren't on the OR report, and believe me, the OR report was horrifying enough. I notified the hospital. Not even the risk staff could get the doctor to talk. I still don't know what body part got stitches. So, I turned him into the medical board. The official I spoke to said the board was very interested in this, and he walked me through the forms.
I hope the ex-doctor who botched the LEEP is boo-hoo crying, right now. I never had any intention of suing, and I still don't want to, even though my cervix is grotesquely disfigured. Yet, I want the doctor reprimanded by the medical board so that he doesn't do this, again, to somebody else, if he hasn't already. So, I'm not going to stop until that happens. But it's sad the only doctor who wants me to finally get well is the out-of-network doctor.
As you can imagine, I no longer trust doctors unless I have researched them, as well as their clinics. Every time my doctor tells me something, I have to research it because my ability to trust has been so thoroughly destroyed. Fortunately, everything he has told me, so far, has proven true.
