Beware! woman traveling to TJ



Recommended Posts

I really find this so sad that this young girl is now retracting what she said because she feels some sort of guilt over coming out and telling what happened. It is obvious that the story is true and like many victims of sexual harassment she is being made to feel like it is her fault. I really feel for the OP' date=' I understand that she is an adult and she was not forced into this but this was a complete abuse of power on the doctors part, taking advantage of someone's vulnerability. This guy is pathetic and will not stop what he is doing because what was said has now been retracted. I really hope that his behavior does not escalate into something worse.[/quote']

Please tell me how she isn't at fault when she slept with him 4 days after meeting him.....she is a grown woman and knew what she was doing. She is upset it didn't turn into a relationship like she wanted and in turn could have completely screwed this mans career. Ya, he shouldn't be a douchebag sleeping with different women while in a relationship but that doesn't mean he should potentially lose his job because neither of them could keep it on their pants. Makes me wonder how many other guys she has jumped into bed with and then screwed up their life when it didn't pan out.

Latin people are generally more flirty than Americans. Just because someone is flirty doesn't mean they are a womanizer. She was the one that allowed it to go farther than it should have. Acting like it was sexual harassment is ridiculous. Should he have known better than to take it further with a current patient? Ya. Should she have not slept with some random guy she didn't know? Yup. None of us have seen the correspondence between them and don't really know who pursued who. They are both at fault. Just because he can't keep his junk in his pants doesn't mean he is a bad dr (everything I've read about him states otherwise) he is just a bad person personally. It's none of anyone's business what he does in his personal life as long as he isn't raping women and forcing them into things that they arent choosing to do.

Not talking about any " flirty Latin" he was her attending Physician entering her hotel room.. Alone, and preying on whomever takes his bait. It's the perfect meat shop for the WOMANIZER.

I considered Dr Garcia an excellent Dr, but if he condones this behavior then I've changed my mind. Simple deduction.

Now that Dr. Garcia himself is looking into it I hope we can let this go.

I also hope, regardless of the outcome and regardless which version is true, that Blindsided speak with a counselor to help her cope with what has obviously been an overwhelmingly emotional experience.

I feel by now a lot of ppl have figure out who the Op is. Please know you will still get support here. Don't be afraid. If you need someone to talk to PM me. Or any of your supporters. We can be there for you. No questions asked. I have a daughter if she needed help I would hope someone would be there for her. Sorry I made the comment about Karma. This CRAP sucks!!!! No one deserves this.

Hmm I mustbe far out of the loop. I don't have a clue who the op is,would've given more credit to her story to know who it really is. IMO posting such claims under a pseudo name looks sketchy

Eta: nvm figured it out, wasnt hard to do. Op fails to mention what. She really did (or who...) day 4 after surgery in one of her post op posts...

I've read every post of this thread..this "novella" is a shame on all fronts. This thread is a serious turn off. This is the first and only forum I have joined hoping to find information support and even some fun. Unfortunately there are a handful of drama queens, attention seekers, and control freaks that are all over this site 24/7 pontificating their absolute judgements. It's disgusting..disheartening and negative. Unsubscribing. Good luck to those who have helped me immensely. I will be looking to other sites for support.

This is the ONLY thing I have read here that makes any sense. What a jacked up thread. Signing off this forum for drama queens and will find real support somewhere else. And I am standing by the doctor and the rest of his team on this one. Hasn't changed my opinion one bit. I had surgery there, loved the care, and found the whole team to be caring professionals.

I wanted to update... Dr. Garcia has finished his investigation of these issues and is no longer using "dr" Luna.

Guess I won't be meeting him next month. Hope he is replaced by someone attentive and caring who will keep his hands to himself. :)

What does that mean for people who were scheduled to have their surgery with him in the next few days or so... I would be ticked but then again he's probably just changing his name to "Dr De La Cruz" and would be working at the same doggone place.

Dr. Garcia is the surgeon. So it will mean the same care that he was giving before. Which by all accounts, most everyone is pleased with.

Luna just assisted...

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
