Should my friend be entitled to some compensation or even some free treatment? (See below for full story)?

Question:

A friend of mine had an operation to remove a tumour from her stomach and after about 6 months it still wasn`t healing so the doctor had to reseal the area where he had removed the tumour from. This time he said he had done a more secure job and it will definately heal and it did.
A few months later the doctor discovered another, smaller tumour in the same area and she had to have another operation to remove it, just over a year later the area has opened up where the doctor had operated on the second tumour, the same as what happend with the 1st operation. Now she has to go back AGAIN and have ANOTHER operation to seal it, just like the first operation. Im annoyed about it because i feel he has made the same mistake twice.
(((So my question is...Should my friend be entitled to some compensation or even some free treatment?))) because each operation is costing thousands. If the doctor had done a more secure job of sealiin the 1st place it would have only been 2 operations instead of 4

Answers:
Is she okay now?
Maybe she should see another dr, just to get the wound checked out. Bless her.
I know our hospital helped me out financially. We have pretty good insurance, but we just dont' make a lot income.
THe hospital helped us with the bills. She just needs to go the financial dept, and fill out information . They will need to know how much money she makes, if she has a savings, 401 K, cars, credit cars, reg bills and so on.
I hope this helps.

It's 50/50...... If she had done better 'wound care' it may have helped. Just because it was done by a doctor doesn't mean that he is 100percent at fault.

Sounds like there's more going on here than we know. Were the tumors cancerous or benign? Did the area not heal because her immune system was down or did other tumors press against the spot? Tell her to document everything and get a copy of every single report; she is entitled to this by law.

i think your story didn't describe the kinda operation or tumor that your friend have.
what area that opened up? the abdominal wall? the stomach? is that some kinda gastrostomy?
what kinda procedur that she had to seal it?
what kinda tumor? malignant or benign?
the story so unclear...

Have her look at glyconutrient technology for the future and seek the advice of a lawyer.

glyconutrient info and tumor testmonials are on my page.

A surgeon cannot guarantee that every last cancer cell is removed as the result of surgery. Any remaining cells could lead to further tumors. The tumors are tissue destroying and could cause the issues he is undergoing. Cancer is not a black and white disease. They can no more tell you if the cancer is fully removed than they can tell you what your prognosis is
