Loss of Independence

I just have to share my experience with Dr Wopula. I'm am awake and in pain now. I was injured on duty in June 2018. Went to Mercantile hospital trauma unit on the 04 June 2018. Dr on duty was very unprofessional and misdiagnosed me. I had to pay for and ultrasound that was unnecessary. Was given pain meds and referred to Physio. 4days later I was back at Mercantile hospital crying of pain. Saw Dr Dawson which diagnosed me immediately. She was excellent. I was referred to Dr Wopula for further management. Dr Wopula was very cold with me since the first day I saw him. But I was sick and needed care immediately. I went for Laminectomy and Discetomy on 21st June 2018.Unaware that my life was never gonna be the same after that day. In theater the morning of the operation Dr Wopula asked me if I prayed. I was so shocked and was already anxious. I was in theater longer than I expected. I went to Hi care post operative. I waited for Dr Wopula to see me because I wanted to know if my operation wS was successful, but I never saw him that day. I only saw him 13H00 the next day. When I asked him why he didn't see me after the operation, he said " I spent time with my kids". I had no words... My wound gaped open 4days after the operation. I was sent to Sr Cullus wound Sr at Mercantile Hospital. She app**** vacuum dressings every 3rd day. I could not even walk yet or feel my legs, but had to go to Sr Cullus rooms every 3 days. It was a nightmare for me. Vacuum dressings lasted every 3days from June 2018 till the first week in September 2018.i never had bedrest to recover from the Laminectomy. When I told Dr Wopula this, he said that it was his call. He never wanted to write me scripts for pain medication, said I had to go to my Gp. This whole experience was bad and traumatic for me. I never recovered from this operation. I can't walk properly, my legs and feet are numb and heavy. I was medically boarded by this Dr last year. I got lots medical bills and chronic pain tablet bills and are stressed. Can't drive a car anymore due to numb feet. I am still having sciatic pain in left leg and struggle since beginning of 2022 to get an appointment with him. He refuse to see me and convey messages via his secretary. I am depressed due to the chronic pain I have since after this operation. I don't wish this on my worst enemy.
