You may have been the victim of medical malpractice. There aren't enough details to know for sure, such as what kind of surgery it was, was this done in an exam room or operating suite within his office, etc. However, if the standard of care is that it should be done in a hospital under anesthesia, then you may have been the victim of medical malpractice, and you may be entitled to sue the doctor, even if you don't have insurance. Not having insurance doesn't give the doctor the right to hurt you on purpose. You should consult a lawyer to more fully discuss this situation. There are time limits on suing your doctor, so don't wait, especially if it has been a little while since this happened.
