All you should have said is: "So...the cast removal is free now, right?" once it came off like that. I'd imagine that lesions would look pretty different from how saw cuts would look. Lesions probably wouldn't exist just where the saw was used, while saw cuts, obviously, would only exist there. Before freaking out about the nurse, think about where your arm was cut and decide whether it was lesions or the saw before you do anything further.

The same thing happened to me when I had the cast removed from my leg after I broke my ankle. I told the nurse it felt like it was cutting my skin, and she said there was no way it could do that, and then she took the cast off and there was a gash on my leg, right along the line she had cut, She still denied it, and said the cast must have scraped my leg when she took it off. But it was way too deep a cut for it to have just been scraped by the edge of the cast. I feel your pain. :/

Sueeeeeeee!

a lawsuit is in order ...... sue them. hit them where it hurts and they will ensure it doesn't happen again to another patient.

i broke my thumv amd had a cast. i too was worried about it. he showed me that it cant cut skim and put it on his arm. it didmt cut him. so.YDI for havimg a skin disorder

#14..it's spelled lesions. and op, totally not your fault! stupiiddddd nurses.

that sucks

"Explain how this is not the nurses/hospitals fault? Sue them and set a pecident.." Precedent. Use some apostrophes. Etc.

it is possible for a cast saw to cut skin. if the wrong amount of pressure is used, and if an old or dull blade, is used,serious injury can occur. only properly trained people should be using a cast saw, when trained they tell you that it IS possible to cut and burn someone if not careful. i have been doing cast removal for 8 years, never injured anyone. report the nurse, and i would look for a new doctor if no action is taken

i got one wrd 4u..sue!
