I creep up to where the window is and I look around the corner and I'm looking and there's no gun or anything.
So I go up to the door, I open it up.
takes a check that I put on the front desk, puts in her pocket, signs the release, walks up to me and she goes, this is not over.
And so now the next day I had an operation.
It was actually a breast reconstruction on a woman who had these
huge breasts and she'd had cancer and this and that it was going to be one of the most difficult probably the most difficult operation I was supposed I was going to do up to that point in my career I could not sleep overnight and I called her up it was like five in the morning and I go I'm really sorry I said I can't operate on you today
And I go, no, I go, I don't think I can operate on you.
And for months I had like lost all sense of like confidence in myself because like here I, what did I do to this woman?
and i'm at the hospital treating a patient and i get a call from my office and they're like you need to come back that patient's mom has left you a message so i go what is the message and the message is you need to call me my daughter is suicidal so now i'm like i'm like
this now my what happened like my patient's gonna freaking kill herself because of this freaking facelift that i did on her and like what do i do i called one of my best friends a psychiatrist and i say brian like this is what's going on like what do i do and he goes you need to tell her mom to call the police and send her to the hospital immediately because you know if she's suicidal you've got to do that so i'm like okay so i call her mom up and i'm like hey this is dr you and i'm calling you know you left me a message about your daughter and you said she is suicidal is that true and she goes
what suicidal what are you talking about and i go well this is what message was left and she goes no no that's a figure of speech she needs more money to pay for what you did to her oh my gosh oh my gosh like this is an 80 year old woman 85 year old woman trying to like trying to like blackmail me for more money oh my god so i'm like look i'm sorry this conversation's over and and like that was the end of it but and you never heard from them again
So I referred her initially when she called before I saw her and that whole crazy episode happened.
And I gave her some names of some local surgeons who are much older than me who have been very established.
