“Dr. Was never clear that he did ...”
Dr. Was never clear that he did core decompression on my femoral condyle. I knew my stem cells were put into my femur but I never realized it was that procedure. It never said that on my paperwork or was never mentioned in any of my visits. I am educated, I feel like I ask the right questions and call when I'm confused, but this whole time I didn't really understand why the recovery was taking so long until now, three months after surgery when dr said for the first time that that's what he did. I read every piece of literature given to me so I would've been much more prepared if this was clearly stated in the documents that listed the procedure they were planning to do. Please make sure wording of paperwork/dr. matches what is listed in the plethora of documents given to patients.
