I’m worried a surgeon took advantage of my girlfriend
I don’t know how to describe the feelings I have right now. I’ve been having a suspicion about a surgeon that could have taken advantage sexually of my girlfriend. (The TL/DR part is available at the bottom of this text).
So few weeks ago my girlfriend had a surgery in her leg. It’s one of the most common procedures, and her case was nothing complicated at all as per the diagnosis and the surgeon who did the surgery. When she first got the appointment, it was set on a certain date, then just a week or less before the day of the surgery, they informed her that the date was changed due to a special situation that the rooms won’t be available, and it was then set for her to be few days sooner. Then they again changed that date for her and told her it would be the next day of that new appointment. Up until this point, I still didn’t think anything of it but I was just wondering what would cause the dates to change so much.
The scheduling of the surgery is supposed to be in the morning, say 8:00 AM. Unfortunately due to very difficult circumstances, I couldn’t be at the hospital the day of the surgery, but I was in contact with her sister and friend who were there the whole time.
When I called to check in the morning at 8, they told me she was still not taken to the operation area, so that’s another delay and I’m still not thinking anything of it. Then, around maybe 12:00 PM, she was given pill/drug to relax her and moved from the room to the operation area where no companions could enter beyond that point. As per the surgeon, the surgery would not take longer than 2 hours. So we all expected that at least by 3:00 PM we’ll hear that she’s in recovery room done from surgery. When I called at around 2:00 PM —2 hours after she was taken inside the operation area door where no one can go beyond but the patient—I was shocked to know from her sister that they told her she was just taken to the surgery room where they will start the surgery. So for 2 hours, she was kept inside not having the surgery.
At that point, I started to have some suspicions and discomfort about why all that delay. I kept all that to myself, and didn’t discuss any concerns with her sister and friend. Just as the surgeon told us initially, 2 hours later, she was done.
Later that night, I came by to check on her and she seemed fine. Not even having any pain or anything, just a little tired maybe. The doctor then walked in to check on her before leaving, and it was my first time to see him. He asked her how she was feeling and how everything is, and then he left saying his role is done now.
