Yep, I had a routine colonoscopy and they inadvertently perforated my colon and didn't catch it. Sent me home. An emergency surgery, 30 days in the hospital, and a colostomy bag later, I still had pockets of infection all over the place and a fever of 101.

At least i didn't die.

Some surgeons and their team now wear these types of outfits to avoid infection.

I know one surgeon that definitely wears something like this for doing knee replacement surgery.

What a brutal and undignified experience. Did you end up having to go back to the same hospital? I hope you reached some sort of settlement considering not only the potential loss of income and significant expense, but particularly your horrific pain and suffering. Who was the technician, Vlad the Impaler?

Oh my brother..I am so sorry to hear that.

And your story made me remember..

during the original admittance to the hospital they gave me some strong painkillers and I fell asleep.

While I was out they attempted to insert a catheter and ended up puncturing my urethra..the canal where your urine leaves the blatter to your *****.

So they just made a hole in my stomach from the outside and ran a tube to a urine bag strapped to my leg. I woke up and found it and asked the nurse what happened.

She said they had a problem but I was fine that it would only be there a short while. I had it for 6 months and finally the doctor said they would remove it and then covid hit.

Becuz of that...all non-emergency surgeries were cancelled. So I sat from January of this year until September. That was a whole year I had to drag that around before elective surgery was approved again.

Thought I would go out of my mind.
