FWIW, after a complication like the one you went through, the case should have been reviewed by the hospital. The service that performed the procedure may have a formal Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference. The case will have been presented and discussion would have taken place amongst the entire department. There may or may not also have been a separate investigation performed by the hospital's quality control department. From my personal experiences, at least, general surgeons have no problem ripping on each other in these types of scenarios. Don't know if that's the case in other departments. Often, though, those records aren't available to the public (or even you). I've seen patients' families get ahold of them, though I'm not sure how that was done (as, again, they're not supposed to have access to them).

Thanks Noah930, I have never even talked to the doctor that did the procedure.
