Reply to comment by TheNWTreeOctopus in UPMC agrees to pay $8.5 million to settle whistleblower lawsuit filed by former surgeon by Newkid92

I’m so sorry to read this horrific experience. Did you end up suing? What was their excuse leaving your uncle in that state?

The guy is full of shit, this absolutely didn't happen the way it's being described.

How do you know ?

Were you part of the team that did it? I’m not sure you’d know the answer any other way unless you’re just being a jag for no reason. It was 13 years ago next month and I will never forget his unrecognizable face.

It was my aunts decision and in the end she chose not to peruse anything. I think she was just devastated and lost. They said when they got in there it was more in invasive than they thought. They could have made the decision to remove what they could and close him up. He absolutely had more time but instead he was treated like an experiment because he was going to die soon anyway. For the life of me I can’t remember what their excuse was for leaving him like that. He was brain dead, why leave him open and tell us you’re planning a second surgery is absolutely beyond me.
