"Dr. Daniel did my primary and revision. Another surgeon was at my revision who I never met, but UCI has a program to allow observers at NBSC. Dr Daniel didn’t talk to me after the 45-minute revision. He didn’t outfracture my turbinates like he said he would at the revision preop. I STILL have the breathing problem from the primary. And I paid another $3k! See my review for Dr Jeff Topkis. I wish I had run like 12/4 did. I am editing this as I learn more about what happened to me. I just want to know why they did what they did.

"Watch him carefully. I saw Dr. Topkis fuss with my IV pole, running a syringe barrel along the palm of his left hand (back of his hand to the nurses, palm towards me) with the tip of his middle finger on the pole and inject something in the side of my tube. It could have been Versed. This was BEFORE I could talk to Dr Rollin Daniel, and I was thinking of cancelling. I saw Topkis look around, and when the nurse Denise returned he snapped at her to ask if she’d run the antibiotics when a bubble of air went into me. I saw him take the syringe off which probably caused the bubble, then he put it back on. I wish I could have cancelled and left, but I wasn’t aware enough. I don’t know if Daniel told him to do this. I had wanted Dr Soni again, but Amy at Dr Daniel’s office discouraged me from requesting her. Lesson learned: don’t leave anything major to discuss on surgery day. Also don’t let T pull the gown off one arm before starting the IV unless you are an exhibitionist- m130"
