Dr. Arguello

Mona hit it on the head! Consult with more than one doctor! ALWAYS! If it means you have to make two trips so be it. Dr. Victor Urzola is an excellent surgeon there, he is not ASPS certified, but did work in the US, France, Spain, CR and I think Brazil (don't quote me on that one)
$$ was not my influence, a piece of paper from the ASPS was. I regret who I went to, it almost cost me my life. We clashed from the beginning. I have been in the medical field for 20 years. I was yelled at for driving in CR, then he made a stupid comment about only children being "spoiled brats" and how horrible they are. I informed him I was an only child. He kind of rolled his eyes and I did not elaborate and inform him that my two siblings had died at birth in 1969 (I could pretty much tell he was not interested in my life) Things went down hill from there (if you can imagine)
I knew he was going to go out of town for a conference. I had no idea how long he would be gone for but I LOVED HIS ASSISTANT! HE IS A CUTIE PIE! I figured "how bad can it be"? UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH. If there was a day in my life I could take back.....This would be the day.
I had sent down all of my medical history information and surgical information (which was pretty complex) He was aware of all of my Autoimmune diseases. He was insistent that HE COULD manage them and there would be nothing to worry about as far as pain wise (if pain gets out of control, my auto immune diseases flare up) BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART. All of my surgeons here make me manage them. As soon as I came out of surgery, I knew I was in trouble.
I remember my nurse walking in that night. She asked me what I was doing, as best as I could in broken Spanish I said "rezando para que me muera". And she said "No, don't say that!" I had phenobarbital at my bedside, if I would have had alcohol of any kind, I would have drank it. Fortunately, after I woke up I had enough in me to know better to LIE about what was in my bottles so they would not take them from me. I would take the phenobarb for migraines. Since this surgery, it no longer works.
My back started hurting but I figured that was from the lipo I had. It wasn't. My Mono I had contracted 5 years prior had reactivated (since my autoimmune diseases, it won't go away) I just tested positive for it as recently as 2 weeks ago. I was shaking and vomiting the early morning hours following surgery. I stayed that way for the next 24 hours, so even after being discharged I was still puking and shaking. I had asked for Fentanyl for post op pain meds and this is what I am ALWAYS given for the first 24 hours. I was denied, never given a reason why, but denied.
