Anybody have experience with Dr. Filler?

Sir:

I accept that every physician has lawsuits; however, this does not excuse Dr. Filler's behavior when things did go wrong. Is it appropriate to fabricate conversations which did not happen, then place these fabrications in writing. Like I said in my post, everyone says things they regret. This was the first time in my life that anyone proceeded to put those absurd statements in writing. Is it appropriate to send a letter to a patient that has no history of any psychiatric problems, suggesting that they seek help. I did see other physicians (immediately following this procedure) concerning this problem, and every one of them said something went wrong during the epidural nerve block. I have this in writing from multiple experts. I did not pursue legal action because I was too sick, and did not want to pull other, helpful, physicians into a quagmire.

My point is this. Mistakes happen, bad outcomes occur. There is a responsible and compassionate way of handling this when it happens.

I continue a search for what exactly happened, and how to proceed. My quality of life is not a good situation. I have a wife and son who have to bear the burden of dad's medical problems.

Take care,

Hello,

Yes, I too have lived a part of life raising kids, and feeling like a burden to my team.

It's just a part of how we feel when we can't provide the things in life we wish we could for them.

My little one was born 4 months after my injury.

Many nights I would crawl up the stairs to put her to bed.

I was also raising 2 step kids during that time span
( almost teen age yrs) Yikes!

The only thing I ask from my Family/friends ...( please do your best to understand my spine injury.)

I will never be the same (as pre-injury), but its worth doing, and enjoying what we can without making our spines get worse. ( Gravity alone will do that )

Some of my new-er problems are a result of me walking with a limp for 5 plus yrs (pre-surgery.)

Gravity = we are all getting old... Yikes
