Re: Broken again?
Oldbeek , Yes you are correct USC has lots of lawyers and probably the reason why no one wanted to take my case, but like the op, I was told by USC it was approved and then after the revision they refused to pay. Only after I threatened about taking them to court did USC take care of the 30k bill th...

Re: Broken again?
Yea I agree good luck and hopefully you get it taken care of soon, maybe the threat of telling the hospital you are getting legal council will change their minds.

Re: Broken again?
If you find a lawyer that will take the case let me know who because after all my issues I contacted about 20 and all sayd that they wouldn’t take the case because medical malpractice cases are hard to win and cost a lot to fight quote="JohnHC"] I replied to you before! I think you need to...

Re: leak after revision
Yea good point , I was just thinking it is probably on the low pressure side between the reservoir which like you said already has a splice. If it were on the high pressure side of the pump it would have ran out of fluid way before the two months. Also once I pumped it up it wouldn’t loose pressure ...

Re: leak after revision
I had a follow up appointment with my dr and it was confirmed with a ct scan that the reservoir was empty and there was fluid outside indicating a leak . Unfortunately due to life and work schedule I won’t be able to get in for him to fix it until the 23rd of April. Hopefully it is something simple ...

Re: leak after revision
I totally agree I wish he replaced the whole thing but I think he was worried about getting another serious infection like I had a couple years ago . He told me that that is the biggest infection risk is in the scrotum. When I went in for the revision I was under the impression he was installing the...

Re: leak after revision
I hope so too as I like the way that the cylinders are positioned. I am hoping it is a connector or something they can get too easy and just recrimp and refill.
