My 2nd hip replacement was really nice. too bad i caught a hospital born superbug and went through 2 years of torture and nearly death.
The real doctor i was sent to by ambulance was at the best infected joint replacement team in all of Florida.
When i had the hip with the superbug there was 3 separate times when the infection appeared to go away after 40 days of IV antibiotics.
As soon as i was taken of the antibiotics the thigh area would start to swell up and it would eventually burst open.
During this time i saw things that no human should see. it would burst open spewing out orange fluid mixed with dead flesh, bone, black blood clots, etc...
The 2nd and 3rd time this happened i took pictures as it happened so the doctor would believe it happened how i said it happened.
There was a time when i was grabbing handfuls of dead flesh and bone coming out of the quarter sized hole that the fluid blew out of.
I put a few handfuls of this stuff on my bathroom counter top.
It took a year and a half of torture from the original doctor that put in the infected hip to finally admit defeat and send me somewhere that would actually solve my problem.
it got so bad my temperature would dip down to 95.5 and go up to 105.3 in a matter of 2 minutes.
it would make my lips and fingertips numb and make me start shivering like i was out in below zero temperatures.
I was in central Florida and was in a sweat suit laying in my front lawn in August when it was 100 degrees outside just so i could get my teeth to stop chattering.
Finally I got so pissed off i went to the original doctors office and told him if he didn't send me somewhere that could actually help me my mother assured them she would sue the shit out of everybody in that building if i died.
I WAS going to die if i didn't get his diseased hip out of me.
I had SEVERE bone loss and celulitis along with 5 dime to quarter size holes that constantly leaked orange fluid on my thigh throughout the ordeal.
My advice DO NOT EVER GO TO SOUTH LAKE HOSPITAL FOR ANYTHING IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.
AVOID DR. JAMES M. RAY AT ANY COST.
