5. The physicians will close ranks against you

...because you have complications from surgery. They won't reinforce anything you feel about circumstances leading to the surgical outcome. You could look for medical experts who will treat you and speak frankly about your medical situation because they've already crossed that bridge before (potential litigation) and aren't worried about the local community of physicians and what they think. It may be helpful to consult a medical malpractice firm to find a board certified expert who could offer advice or a professional reference.

I was in a similar situation and realized I'd have to go at least a couple of hundred miles to find a physician who would be honest. I was treated like I had the plague by local specialists.

Sorry to hear of your problems. It's very upsetting to find this out, I know.
