An Unnecessary Hysterectomy, Per Lawyer, May Cause Injury
Mirena is alleged to have many side effects. Mirena is an interuterine contraceptive device {IUD}. Our team includes Mirena attorneys that want to provide information to women or their loved ones about making a Mirena claim or to discuss a Mirena lawsuit.
Unnecessary hysterectomies are not performed in a scientific or humanitarian fashion, in response to women’s medical needs or complaints. Instead, they appear to depend entirely on the gynecologist’s ideas about the appropriateness of the operation.
Precautions to avoid unnecessary surgery
If you are a clinic patient, you have a right to discuss your care with the gynecologist in charge of your care. This person must be someone who has finished a residency program. If you are told that your case is unusual, you can insist that a senior gynecologist or the chief of the service be consulted. This may not work if your case appears to be a common condition, frequently handled by the resident staff. If you cannot afford a private consultation, you may be able to get a low-cost or free consultation from another clinic, at another hospital. However, these consultations become more difficult to arrange if you are already in a hospital, bleeding and hooked up to intravenous infusion sets. As always, it is essential to plan ahead judiciously. From the consumer’s point of view, the safeguards against unnecessary surgery consist of eternal vigilance with as much information about your gynecological diagnosis as you can obtain.
Second Opinion
Do not be embarrassed or reticent about asking for a second, or even a third, session to discuss any proposed surgery. You are discussing a major step in your life. Your gynecologist must be willing to concentrate on you and your problem for a reasonable amount of time. A second opinion is essential. Unless you are exceptionally well organized and have an excellent memory for details, take notes. In theory, tape-recording a conversation is fine, but such an approach may make the doctor being interviewed excessively cautious, defensive, and long-winded. More important is your selection of the gynecologist who will provide the second opinion. He or she should never be a friend or partner of the gynecologist who recommended hysterectomy in the first place.
