I had an operation about 20 years ago. My doctor cut an artery instead of a vein. I woke up in an MRI machine missing five units of blood. I missed over four months of work, and now have a large scar on my abdomen. During that time I traveled to a meeting and struggled just to walk from my hotel room to the front desk. While I was there, I received an emergency (that’s what they called it) call from the doctor’s office. The emergency was that I hadn’t paid the bill. I guess one can’t apologize for fear of a suit. I haven’t seen him since.
