Micheal, I am just now recovering from three years of surgeries and office visits for hip replacement. Over the last three years have had five hip surgeries either to install, remove or or battle two staph infections due to surgeries. I fifth and hopefully final surgery was done at USC and i am confident that is the last the other hip surgeries were done by Dr. Ahn in Los Alamitos. I have not been able to work most of that time due to Damage or recovery from multiple surgeries. So I was wondering if you or anyone you deal with would be willing to look to see if there’s any way of at least trying to get back lost wages, If not the thousands payed to the hospital for the infections that i got being in Los Alamitos Hospital. I hope all is well with you and yours. sincerely yours, Christopher Becktal
