After a yearlong rash of infections from a botched hernia mesh operation my surgeon had me do a CAT scan. He then said the mesh looked ok and there was nothing wrong. I sought out a specialist in mesh surgeries and he looked at the CAT scan and pointed out how the mesh was wrinkled up and NOT attached. He said it needed to come out NOW. I was in surgery with him the next morning.
So yes, either the doc reading the scan made mistakes or my surgeon didn’t care enough to follow up and read it himself. But the specialist doc did and resolved my problems.
BTW the original surgeon who did the hernia repair was recommended by my PCP. I should have done more research before I had him do my hernia repair.
Buyer beware!
