I just had Dr Jacob at community Hospital in Edmond do a TKR on my left knee and all went vey well except I'm having trouble sleeping but no pain. I had a private room and the wife slept n the sofa, the food was exceptional...it was catered. The wife had salmon filet and I had beef tips.
I was in overnight and Dr Jacob came in the next AM bright and alert and spruced up in a clean starched doctor's coat, the guy must work 18 hours per day.
The hospital bill was over $106,000.00, Medicare covered $96,000 and secondary insurance will take care of the rest. Whew!
I think I dodged he bullet though, I went to the VA Hospital in OKC and saw a Dr M. Ali and he said he would expedite my surgery due to pain and that was in April and they have no opening until August for surgery. I spoke with Dr Jacob and told him and he asked who was the surgeon. I replied "Dr Munawar Ali" and he said, "He doesn't even do that kind of surgery." That's the problem with the VA, some Doctors are not highly skilled, some can't afford malpractice insurance because of too many cases against them and various other reasons. At present the VA has a hiring freeze. I guess Biden is taking care of the veterans...
