My experience with Dr. Lynch had almost cost me my life. Because of her negligence my life has been changed forever. I have a constant reminder of the horror I endured. I was introduced to Dr. Lynch by my Primary Care Physician who highly recommended her. Dr. lynch had performed my hysterectomy with no incident, except that the scar itched very bad for several years and when I mentioned it to her it was dismissed, didn't seem to be that important to her. I let it go. I felt like no big deal. I continued to go to her for my gynecological needs. I trusted her. My last appointment with her I was complaining of pain after sex so Dr. Lynch advised that she would like to perform a pelviscopy to look behind my pelvis for any abnormalities. I agreed. I was advised that it was an outpatient procedure and that I would be able to go back to work the next day. My mother-in-law and I arrived at Torrance Memorial as scheduled, I'm checked in and that's all I can remember. I wake up a month and a half later from being in a coma. Dr. Lynch had nicked my small intestine and I had become septic. My mother-in-law has said that I complained of being in a lot of pain and that Dr. Lynch was contacted and that she suspected that I just had really bad gas, had me walk around and was to send me home. One of the nurses noticed that something was dreadfully wrong as my vital signs were significantly changing. My organs were starting to shut down. Once it was found that I was septic I had to have emergency surgery. A day later my daughter was told, by one of the doctors that had performed my surgery, as there were several working on me, that they had done all that they could possibly do and that my fate was no longer in their hands. A month and a half later I woke. I couldn't talk as I had to have a tracheotomy. I couldn't raise my arms or walk due to neuropathy. I was being fed by a pick line. I was in a lot of pain. I was so afraid. I couldn't believe what had happened to me. After a while I ordered my hospital records and found out that I had undergone a blood transfusion, had to have dialysis, had code blue called on me several times, and a host of other things. After reading the huge file all I could do was curl up in fetal position and cry. I cried for hours asking why. I also had a bed sore in the back of my head. I ended up losing my job of 6yrs as a result of using up all my time due to constantly being admitted into the hospital because of complications. My life has never been the same and the only thing I have received from Dr. Lynch is a very small note, not a letter, saying that she was sorry for what had happened. Nothing else. I have suffered from severe depression and anxiety, memory loss, and I'm having trouble with my hearing. There was one point that I was so overly depressed that I tried to commit suicide behind it all. Financially I have suffered as well. I have not been able to get back where I was. I am not the same person that I use to be and it hurts as I didn't ask for any of this. Dr. Lynch gets to continue on with her day-to-day living, her practice, and I have to struggle day to day. There is much more to this story that I can write a book. However, every day, I know, is a blessing, even when it doesn't feel like it. God is good as I am still here and I know it won't be like this forever. I'm not telling anyone not to go to Dr. Lynch. Do as you wish. I just think it's time I spoke about my experience and hopefully it will not be yours. Thank you.
