More details to this question:
I recently had surgery. The doctor (who caused me to break down in tears) said afterward that I need two more procedures to complete the process. I was told initially these would all be handled during this one surgery. I had a hernia repair with a tummy tuck. The doctor said he needs to do more liposuction on my belly, because he couldn't tell how much I initially needed - because I was laying down! Isn't this the point of marking me up with a sharpie before surgery. He also did belly button revision - but told me afterward he wants to work on it again. this will all be an additional charge to me. This seems sketchy to me. I asked him questions and stated that I don't want to go through anymore surgeries. He became defensive, condescending and chastising. I was in tears and the nurse had to console me. Please advise if this sounds suspect to you. I really need advice. thank you!

Its is what it is - if you need to two more procedures, whether you want to or not, that may well be appropriate depending on your situation. If you don't want them you can't be forced to get them, but there is nothing inherently wrong with the medical care with the facts described. I fyou have concerns you can seek a second opinion. Also, to be clear, no one can "make you break down in tears" thats some thing that is within your control andthere is no lawsuit for such things.
