Patient-104

Patient-104 had bariatric surgery at Sunrise Hospital.

Here is the patient's story, as told by her husband:

This is for the feckless (careless, incompetent, irresponsible) surgery team at Sunrise Hospital.

My wife had a botched bariatric surgery from Dr. Barrett, leaving  her with a leaking gut, spilling digestive juices and other fluids into her abdomen, creating pain, a liver abscess, heightening her seizure activity, allowing multiple infections to arise and needing multiple hospital stays.

Sunrise surgeons ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to perform their Hippocratic duties.

They swore an oath to DO NO HARM.

By their cowardly refusal to address my wife's surgical needs, they have chosen to actively compound the medical issues of my wife and leaving her medically unstable.

Note to readers: The Hippocratic Oath was first adopted by the World Medical Association in 1948. There have been revisions over the years, with the latest version being adopted in 2017. See the latest version of the Oath posted in the next column on this page. Learn about the 2022 proposed changes for "A Revised Hippocratic Oath for the Era of Digital Health."
