It was 1994, I was sent by Dr. Richard Ian Goldberger to Dr. Scott Cutler for an evaluation for cervical and lumbar surgery. Cervical was for a herniated disk and a bone spure to be remove. They forgot to remove the bone spur. But, I was still a bit better and prepared for Lumbar surgery the following August. I was told this is textbook case. Instead of being a simple case, it was a septic surgery where Goldberger and Cutler did a procedure that should have been easy, but they put on the report that they ended the surgery early due to blood loss. According to surgical records, only minimal blood loss. Then after surgery, neither Goldberger or Cutler came to visit me in the hospital room post-surgery. After 4 days of complaining about burning and itching in the wound, and my wife reporting to the nurses, little blisters, with circles around them, surrounding the surgical spot - not the hospital, nor the doctors did anything or showed up. On the fifth day, they changed bndages and realized I was infected. They said it was nothing - over the next 4 months, I had 18 surgical procedures in surgery, plus Vancomycin through IVV catheter into my heart as an antibiotic, and it wasn't until after January, that they finished all the surgeries.
