Question: Hi there,

My oldest is a 2d year Anes resident at a major Ivy med center--Yale was her third match choice. I graduated in the top ten percent from NYU Law School, and had egregious malpractice on my 49th b'day, 10/1/04 in Schenectady, an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion and instrumentation with cadaver bone at C3/4, 4/5. A year long odyssey, with 3 neurosurgeons and three orthopedic spine surgeons, who all agreed the first surgery was malpractice and with two screws in 6/7, lost that with autograft and the surgeon's fee was 105K plus the ENT fee (which they forgot to bill) so 10 years out, my left face is numb and I feel like I have a ligature around my throat. I have dated mabybe five doctors and made friends with two ED docs last summer in Cusco, Peru, and Galapagos. The first noticed my scars immediately and said, go have a cup of tea it will go away. The second, whose first wife died of medical malpractice at his own hospital, and he now consults on same, was not so optimistic.

2. At Machu Picchu, (read XXXXXXX Sanders, MD, XXXXXXX internist, the source and consultant for "house"), I was bitten 50 times on each ankle, with it just starting to resolve 8 months later. Dr Sanders wrote about a XXXXXXX ED resident and her BF who got cutaneous Leishmanasios in Brazil , her on arm under scrubs, and no antibiotic working, BF on chest, antibiotic working. I just visted dermatologist with two residents-0-he admits, like 6 other doctors he doesn't know, after a biopsy showing "excoriation" and wants me to go to XXXXXXX for a consult.

I have been on a medical meat grinder.

Will my facial numbness and choking ever go away.

What do I do about the 100 "bites" on feet and ankles--was in XXXXXXX basin, Galapagos, but Trip Advisor thread to 2007 says sand flies (new and old world) some with Leishmanosis, which can be carried in utero.

XXXXX
