Yea it was on Oahu and the big island. Everyone I delt with was incompedent, the radiologist, my pcp and 2 differrent surgeons. If I would tell you the WHOLE story you would be in disbelief. I could of gone with a mal-practice lawsuit but did not since those I guess are the worst ones to deal with.

I worked at Ohana GreenHouse and Supply so I spoke with a lot of mmj card holders and got of course to talking about this subject and so so many more had nightmare storys. It was fricken scary what I got myself into out there. It went from something I could deal with to will I ever be normal again.

After 3 botched surgerys, I went to MI where I grew up to get it done at UofM in Ann Arbor through the E.R, 8 hours later they gave me the boot cause they wanted to schedule it and my insurance would only cover it if it was an E.R incident. I did fianally get it taken care of, 1 year, 30 FLIGHTS and 4 surgerys later.

I am not saying all the doctors there are complete incompedent a-hole jerks that should not have a medical license but probably 95% of them. Or course if it is an emergency than theres nothing you can do but everyone that is smart and cares about their health that lives there flys to the mainland to get surgical operations.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up if you are ever visiting or are living there now. People that dont know what their doing with knives can be a bad thing.

That totally sucks Mrlaroo! I've not had experience with the Medical community here in Hawaii, but yeah, "doing the job right" does not seem to be a priority in Hawaii.

That said, It's been windy since I got here on Wednesday! Advil is your friend!
