More about that staple.... I went to the hospital and ask for the OR report to find out exactly what had transpired. Actual dictation.

Again, his bladder neck was open. This may have why I was unable to scope him in the office."

Well I remember being scoped 3 times, and one prior surgery before this was found.

I've tried several Doctors to make an appointment for a second opinion, being a new patient, scheduling is MONTHS away......
