I am looking for case studies for surgeries that went wrong, did not solve the problem, or had complications. If you have an example that I could study and share (removing all identifying info, of course), please contact me via e-mail with answers to these questions:

  • Patient’s birth date
  • Time of birth
  • City of birth (include county if in the U.S.)
  • On what date and year was the surgery?
  • If you know what time it began, please indicate. An estimated time is fine.
  • In what city?
  • In simple, succinct terms, what was the nature of the surgery? What part of the body did it involve? (Do not write me a novel here, I only need the most basic information.)
  • What went wrong? (Again, please keep it short and sweet. If I need more details, I will get back to you.)

I would be extremely grateful if you have a story to share with me.

I would also love to hear about surgeries that went well or incredibly well. Please submit the same info.
