Dr. Richard Floyd ripoff Medical Malpractice tricked and lied to us, did not have the respect to tell me the truth. Nashville Tennessee
On April 29, 2003 I went into surgery. Dr. Floyd performed a total hysterectomy. According to Dr. Floyd everything went well.
The death of my daughter on May 3,2003 took me to San Diego, California to finalize everything. Upon returning I found I was unable to control my bladder.
I made a visit to Southern Hills Hospital in Nashville, and discovered Dr. Floyd cut me between my bladder and vagina. I have been wearing depends 24/7. Dr. Richard referred me to a urologist.
I found a urologist named Dr. Braren located on 21st ave north in Nashville. Dr. Braren ordered a CT and a exploratory surgery on June 10, 2003. He performed the same procedure that Southern Hills performed and came up with the same dignosis.
I finally had surgey July 11, 2003 to repair What Dr. Floyd did. Dr. Floyd cut me between my bladder and vagina. Dr. Floyd did not have the respect to tell me the truth.
Having completed my surgey on July 11,2003 Dr. Braren supposedly repaired the tear. I had complication with the catherer and in great pain. Dr. Braren refused to give me anything for the pain and told me to take advil.
It all came to a head that I finally went to Baptist Hospital in Nashville and they were able to correctly insert my catherer and prescribe me pain medication, they also descovered I was anemiac, which both Dr. Floyd and Dr. Braren did not detect. I feel the Doctors and nurses at Baptist Hospital did a wonderful and through Job.

Many death during surgery is caused by doctors' mistake and sometimes it is hard to prove. For example, during heart surgery a clumsy doctor can cut too much into the heart causing death.

As a gynecologist, I am very familiar with the complication you experienced subsequent to your hysterectomy.

The medical term for the condition you developed is vesicovaginal fistula. It is a connection between the bladder and the vagina.
The development of vesicovaginal fistula is one of the most common complications of a hysterectomy. It does not necesssarily imply that the hysterectomy was done incorrectly or that the bladder was cut. At times, the blood supply to the bladder may be damaged during a hysterectomy, resulting in the death of some of the tissue that comprises the bladder. Urine is then able to leak out of the bladder. It usually makes its way into the vagina and out of the body.
Most of the time, there is n9o way for a surgeon to know in advance that a patient will develop a vesicovaginal fistula. Therefore, it is likely that your original OB/GYN did nothing incorrectly except fail to warn you of this potential complication of a hysterectomy.
If you really think your physician has done something wrong, rather than posting it on a website, I would recommend that you complain to your state medical board. They will investigate all complaints thoroughly. If they receive multiple complaints abot the same physician or if they find a physician has performed in a negligent manner, they will remove his license to practice medicine.
