New Landy new life Posted August 30, 2018 Share Anyone know of a decent Orthopedic surgeon at the above hospital to take out some Titanium Pins from my hip ? I cant go to my nearest hospital as the Ex works there, so this is my next nearest and also close to a friend who may need to fetch me afterwards.

V12man Posted August 30, 2018 Share Clive White - but personally I would ask the original surgeon to do it - given that he put it in and he knows your history. Ex wife's workplace or not - just tell the surgeon you don't want her involved in any way with your surgery, care or administration if it worries you.

What V12 said... also, this is serious stuff and vacant comments probably topic-inappropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Landy new life Posted August 30, 2018 Share Thanks guy's. Just rather not be around the ex wife and all the surgeon's that have worked with her all the years. Still very hard to take when I see her so try not to.The pins are pretty standard to remove so any expert should cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i24 Posted August 30, 2018 Share You could ask the original surgeon to do it at another hospital. Explain why and your ex should not know anything. Otherwise ask him to refer you to another surgeon. The original surgeon will know if any "challenges" were faced during the 1st op which may complicate removing the pins. The 2nd surgeon will need to get your medical records etc anyway.

Ex wife's workplace or not - just tell the surgeon you don't want her involved in any way with your surgery, care or administration if it worries you.^^^ Most important quote on the thread. Your ex not-withstanding, sticking with your original surgeon is preferred, but not essential, but communication with him is key when requesting a referral so that he can consult the new surgeon about any complications with your hip or health, etc. Not sure if your ex assists in theatre or just works in the wards, but being in a different ward as to the one she works in should also put you out of reach. But I guess I can try understand that you would just prefer to be as far away as possible. New Landy new life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
