‘I don’t know, you’re on your own’
I cannot believe any doctor would say this about a complication following their treatment. I suspect there is far more to it than we know.

However it appears from the expert responses that you had a known complication and it has been treated. As I often say to my patients, a 1% risk of a complication means that for one patient in a hundred it will be 100% and for the rest it will be zero. Sorry you have been the 1% and I regret you appear to have had a relationship breakdown with your surgeon, but I hope you can put it behind you and move on
