Considering Legal Action...
« on: February 27, 2025, 01:26:15 PM »
Hi
I had a previous jaw surgery (BSSO + LeFort I 3 piece) back in 2017.
The surgeon had decided to just align my teeth in relation to my overbite, and leave the rest to another surgeon.
So he advanced my jaw 10mm forward. I have what's termed "LFS" or long face syndrome due to my lower jaw growing downwards as a kid.
So he made my face even longer after the surgery.
He gave me 3 recommendations for surgeons after my surgery and they refused to take me on as a patient because I had a previous surgery.
I then called a local surgeon who said they have a reputation to uphold and they won't finish another surgeons work and they said they won't even let me
be seen for a in office evaluation.
This is really being spit in the face by these surgeons, they honestly don't care about helping people, all they care about is themselves and there reputation.
There are specific portions of the ADA act that prevents healthcare providers and surgeons from refusing to see a patient who had a previous disability.
My disability was inalibity to breath\chew foods correctly and sleep and they viewed this as a disability.
So I decided to concrete my claim, by recording the surgeon's office feedback from these surgeons who told me they will not accomodate a future patient because they were involved in a previous surgery and one even told me he didn't even care to see me to diagnose me in the office, he just jumped on the gravy train and told me to give up and live with what I got.

You see heres the problem amongst everything, one its unethical. Two, they ARE discriminating, despite whatever law is implimented in there state they reside (I called 16 out of state surgeons who refuse to help me), and three, any complaint to a board would likely go NOWHERE, which is why I recorded all my correspondence with them. Four, of the offices I sent my medical records to, the receptionist told me "the surgeon reviewed your medical records and told me we will not be helping you out, thank you". No other reason was given to me, and they refused to destroy my medical records even I told them I was not a patient of record with them.

So what does everyone think, should I take legal action for discrimination or a complaint to a medical board?

I'm not sure if you'd have a case given this happened in 2017. There's a statute of limitations, and it's probably a few years. You could write the board, even though it will be futile, but it might show a pattern over time if others write the board, too.

You can name names here so long as you didn't sign anything saying you can't, and so long as you tell the truth.

Have you tried Gunson? He takes on difficult revisions.

Filing a complaint with the medical board did nothing, they protect there own.
I filed three medical complaints to my state's medical board and they looked into my complaint and did NOTHING, even acknowleding what they did was wrong in refusing to allow me to come in for evaluation and was unethically denied because they want to "protect there reputation" in refusing treatment because I had a failed or unaddressed previous jaw surgery, I am merely a "walking lawsuit" and "liability". So these Medical Boards parallels the Bar Association for Lawyers and every other organization that investigates there own profession, they protect there own, the "Good Ol' Boys Club".
These people absolutely DISGUST ME! In my state I have whats called a one party state which means I can document calls and record them, and since all my surgeons reside in my state whom I saw and was declined, I can now post these online on all my socials (YT, FB, X, Insta). I believe public exposure often deters or at least calls to there attention to change there practice.
From my research, I would have a colorable claim in court if I can prove that I was denied services based on race, color or disability, and that they receive federal funding from the government. This is under the ADA, americans with disability act. Also I would have a state claim of tortious interference, meaning that if one surgeon conveyes to other surgeons that I'm a liability and decline services not medically related (like the surgeon is incompetent, can't handle my case, no skill set, overbooked) then I file a state tort claim.

To answer your question, I made the trip to see Gunson, he said he would just do a cosmetic chin procedure becaues he doesn't do inverted-L or CCW rotation anymore. He wanted to bill me $86000 for the procedure, which again he agreed I need CCW but can't do it anymore. I paid out of pocket for the consult, and he's out of network with all major insurance carriers. This was in light of the fact he was sued by one woman who he botched the surgery, and I spoke to this lady personally, she was outraged that he wouldn't take her back in and correct the post-surgery movement.

I'm quite unsure why this community isn't completely honest? These surgeons DO NOT CARE ABOUT THERE PATIENTS PERIOD! They care about the money and the challenge but once the s**t hits the fan, they quickly run away like the cockroaches they are!

I have recorded calls from 26 surgeons proving everything I'm saying. They don't care about you.
I have documentation from all the surgeons I saw, they don't give a rats ass about you. It's all about there reputation and taking on only cases that are easy and they know the medical board will cover for there ass when the s**t hits the fan. Most states have laws that makes suing these bastards impossible, you need a "affidavit of merit" from another surgeon that would talk crap about these people that they had a "substandard of care" and they will testify in court, which other surgeons will refuse to do that.

Yeah, the board is a joke. I think it only matters if there are a lot of complaints about the same doctor.

Gunson doesn't do CCW anymore? That can't be true.
