Dr. Bogdasarian was approximately 5 hours late starting my surgery. He did a bowel resection to remove tumors from the large bowel that were thought to be cancerous. He stapled the intestines back together and the intestines were leaking into my system. He also wrote in his report that he ran the small bowel. Impossible to have run it. There were three cancerous tumors in the small bowel just about one inch from where he stapled the intestines back together. Pathology found a "carcinoid" in the lymph nodes and Dr. Bogdasarian fluffed it off saying it was just a fluke. He ordered no testing. I learned from the Internet that Carcinoid was indeed a cancer and could kill me and also incurable. I found a carcinoid specialist at Johns Hopkins and he repaired the stapled intestines and also removed the three carcinoid tumors that Dr. Bogdasarian missed.
