I saw Dr. Huddleston for a complicated enterocyle herina when I was 40 years old. He was at LSU school of medicine. I had been to Oschners Clinic in New Orleans and my case was so complicated that they sent me to Dr. Huddleston in Shreveport La. He was so considerate of what I had been going through with several doctors and no one wanted to help me. The reason is because I was a petite woman that had an awful hernia that had dropped into my lower female area. Dr. Huddleston examined me and had an associate to also examine me but this other doctor did not do the examination the same way that Dr. Huddleston did. He did not agree with his diagnosis. This is some 25 years later and I have faced 5 repair surgeries that have never held up for me, and in the process I was inplanted into my vagina the Mesh that is destroying womens lives. My problem was I signed a permission sheet acknowledging that I would have a new procedure done that I knew was experimental. I wasn't aware what that meant. I trusted the Dr. Robert Harris that did the surgery in Jackson Miss. Babptist hospital. This was in the year of 1999. My life was ruined from that surgery. As time passed I quickly started having such painful intercourse that It ended my marriage. Dr. Huddleston made the correct diagnosis when he said I had a very rare Sigmamortcyle. I later had to have my sigmoid colon removed. Dr. Huddleston was in a car wreck and could not do the needed surgery and he left LSU in Shreveport La. and moved to Texas. I have long wanted to find him and let him know that I knew when he left that I would never get the surgery that I needed. My regrets are that time was wasted with me going to Duke University thinking they would help me. My problem was so rare that it was easily missed by so many doctors. I even had some doctors to imply to my insurance that I was Doctor Shopping. They were right, I was trying my best to find a doctor to help me as Dr. Huddleston had wanted to do. Dr. Unger took over the head of Gyn dept at LSU and he was a total failure and didn't even want to deal with me. I suppose the cause of my injury was that I worked in a division of Holsum bakery and every day was heavy 200 pound stacks of bakery items that I moved with a dolly. The weight of this and the length of time I worked there tore my body down in such a way that it destroyed my life. I am 63 years now and facing a surgery for deteration of bones in my lower spine. I have a broken pelvis and vertabre and cushions are out in the lower part of my spine. I still bleed from my vigana and can not have anything put inside of it without bleeding. My Chance of ever being a woman again was destroyed because Dr. Unger did not want to agree with Dr. Huddleston on what he had found in me. I will say that we need more doctors like him and the liberty to do for the patient what he thinks they need. God Bless Dr. Huddleston.
