Thanks for your support guys, but this string it starting to go in a
direction I did not intend. I'm no longer in pain and my penis functions OK
for a man of my age. My frustration is that I'm dealing with a giant
automated billing machine and I'm unable to get thru to the humans who can
turn the machine off. My hope is that by creating this virtual 2 by 4, I
can get Nseyo's attention and get him to turn off the machine. I long ago
contacted Pamala Summers who works with Nseyo and she admitted that "the
wrong number must have been put on the paper work and I should not have been
billed". The amount they are asking for is very small, less then fifty
dollars. I refuse to pay it on general principle! I have already paid for
lack of experience by experiencing un-needed pain and endangering my health
by exposing myself to inexperienced doctors. That's enough, I refuse to
also pay them when they screw up the paper work! I cringe to think what
would have happened if I had let an even less experienced Doctor operate on
me. That almost happened, but I got out of bed and refused to go into the
operating room when I learned the resident, Dr. Dumont, at McGuire who was
about to operate on me had only done a "few" PVPs.
I'm grateful that Dr. Nseyo was smart enough to know his limitations and
stopped the operation before he did any real damage. I'm eternally grateful
for the good people on this news group who told me about Dr. Lin, who
finally did the operation.
I have copied the posting that started this string and attached it to the
invoice sent to me by the billing engaged by McGuire Hospital. I also
attached it to an email I sent to LaserScope. My hope that someone reading
this string brings it to the attention of someone at McGuire Veterans
Hospital who can turn off the bill collecting machine. I would love it if
they took me to court over this. I know that they won't, they will just
waste time and money by sending me threatening letters. That is how the
machine works.
I'll let you know if I get a response from someone who able to correct the
error. If someone is able to explain to me that somehow I'm in error and
should pay the bill, I'll also let you know that.

P.S. I have many good friends who are good lawyers. I don't think I'll need
them for this.

Well done, Dave, in posting your problems and the names of those
who caused them. I do think this is most important.
Knowledge is power. The more we know about experiences like
this, the more pressure is exerted on such people to act
responsibly. They really do not like us knowing what they do,
let alone talking about it!

Our legal system right now is the only way we have of truly
protecting patients. You suffered because he made a mistake.
Right now doctors protect doctors.
Our drug companies fight natural remedies, forget about researching
them.
I went to a second opinion on a urination problem, the doctor wanted
immediate surgery, I went back to my original urologist, and he said
I had a small prostate, and the history, and examination shows 99%
a muscular problem.
However, I also started solaray prostate formula, that combined
with flomax, and I have no problem at all.
I tried other prostate formulas and none worked as well.
