Camus, speaking Friday on French radio, said the American medical team treating Hallyday said the rocker had suffered ill-effects from the operation in France, and that infection "was attacking his bone marrow." "If what I'm being told in the United States is true, this operation was a massacre," he said on RTL radio. On France-Info, Camus said: "It seems the Americans fixed things that they found that were very badly done."

    yes it is absoulutely true that he recieved superior care here in the US as we are the best make no mistake about it. socialized medicene is not for human beings in a capitalist society as we know that the gov does not have the answers and will not allow freedom to choose or support innovation ..you will be given a list ...you pick and that's pretty much it oh yeah and then you ....wait .....wait...wait

    He obviously was able to receive better care here in the United States, over the socialized medicine that was offered in France.

    i agree mr brown our spinal fusions usually need additional work but not due to surgeon negligence however the issue with post op infection is most def the fault of the surgeon's the hospital and its staff. osteo or not and like it or not that is how Joint commission feels about it . in our hospital if we have a run of post op infections we swab the OR and staff to find the culprit and if none is found we look to the charting and post op care of the incision and type and length of post op antibiotics

    As an experienced OR nurse I can assure you that some of the surgeries with the poorest outcomes in the US are discectomies and spinal fusions. The overall condition of the patient's spine presurgery are not totally corrected or overcome by a single, or even multiple, procedure[s]. Too osteomyelitis from implanted hardware is common on the US and anywhere else such procedures are done using the most sterile and advanced techniques available. So you, in all your nursing, have never seen the results of poor surgical technique or just chance infection in the US? Hard to believe if you have not.
