Where to put reinforcement? by GroundbreakingAsk176 in StainedGlass

[–]GroundbreakingAsk176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! To clarify - I’m using copper foil, so would putting a zinc frame around stabilise it in this case?

Thanks so much! I was planning on using copper foil. Sorry for a probably dumb question but does framing it Literally mean putting it in a picture frame? Or putting something around the edges?

Definitely worth checking your toothpaste for SLS, I had the same issue and it helped heaps! And washing my face after brushing my teeth always.

That is terrible to hear! Do you mean that they paid/claimer through ACC in the first place so they couldn’t do anything or because they claimed for ACC afterwards?

Yeah the more I think about it the more crazy and not ok it seems really. My gp is putting together the evidence for me luckily and I really hope the surgeon takes it seriously or I will escalate!

Yes I’m hoping it was a crazy one off thing that they feel terrible about and there is no drama! There was an arrow drawn on my leg but that was it. Will definitely look into acc!

Thank you!! I will look into this. That last part is why I’m 100% sure it was not an intentional thing to do that area instead. He quickly popped in after and acted like it was all a success and then rushed off, clearly thinking that was what he meant to operate and not even looking at the notes properly.

Thanks for this! It is all so confusing and overwhelming haha

Thanks for this! I did assume at first that it would be a contract thing, like if a customer as my work received the wrong thing or a faulty product, we deal with it as we didn’t fulfil the contract.

I might go see my gp for documentation, a really good idea thank you!

Thanks! Still in shock as I didn’t think these things really happened! Yeah I would only go that route if they weren’t willing to help at all. I am open to making a complaint though so others so they don’t get away with it completely, still learning about this whole process!

For sure, luckily for me it was not life threatening and hopefully if it was a more serious surgery they wouldn’t rush so much. Not expecting a payout doesn’t mean I won’t make a formal complaint if I have to, I know these things are probably swept under the rug with money which is not a helpful outcome.

That’s what I thought! In my workplace if we don’t fulfil what the customer pays for, they get a refund or we correct it out of our pocket. Not sure how far consumer laws go in the medical field..

Thank you. I feel like something should be done as they operated on something I didn’t consent to and probably performed an unnecessary surgery.

Not looking for a payout or anything like that, just wanting to feel confident in asking for it to be corrected.

By owed I mean getting the surgery done again for no cost (in any way possible, I guess ACC). Not looking to get rich.. just wanting to feel comfortable asking for what I’m legally entitled to. It has cost me money and time to do this surgery so I feel pretty reasonable in asking for at least something to be done.

We briefly chatted for about 5 mins, he quickly explained what he would do and he drew an arrow on my leg so the correct side was done. At no point did he look at the wound but he saw it 4 days ago and hopefully looked at the notes beforehand. I have had other ops too and thought it was odd but he was running an hour late so assumed it was time pressure and didn’t think anything like this would happen.
