Unnecessary Nasal Operations

Patients routinely rely on their doctors.  When a doctor says that surgery is needed to correct a medical condition, that is usually all someone needs to become convinced to undergo the procedure.  When doctors betray that trust for their own advantage, not only are patients ripped off, but they also suffer an unnecessary surgery.

That is what one nose doctor was doing with his patients.  He would tell patients that they needed to have procedures performed for their health, meanwhile the procedures were often unnecessary causing nothing but trauma for the patients. 

Recently, a jury awarded $300,000 to a victim of the doctor.  In this case, the doctor showed the patient x-rays of a bloody nasal cavity when in fact the x-rays were for a different patient.  The doctor performed an operation to correct the alleged bloody cavity.  Making matters worse, the doctor did not inform the patient about an irregular heartbeat that was discovered.  Apparently this doctor did a similar thing to almost three-hundred additional people. 
   
Most doctors are good practitioners and trustworthy people.  However, patients should be skeptical of a diagnosis for something when there are no matching symptoms.
