Right now I'm in limbo because of a calcified carotid artery that NCH needs to address. Apparently…read moreNCH doesn't see an urgency to clear out the artery. Stroke possibilities have increased while I wait. My fall happened in Nov 2025 slammed hard on concrete on my back, shoulder & whiplash of the neck. Right now my R arm & shoulder are basically useless. I can hold a cup of coffee w/R hand. Shoulder can't reach for anything. Now I know I'm not the only injured person in need of surgery & have had all the tests needed to show surgery is needed but the calcified artery showed up in the xray which is delaying surgery. The longer my arm & shoulder stay in this condition the odds are with surgery the arm & shoulder might not regain strength & mobility. I not a betting man except during the super bowl, I don't believe in doing $40K of neck reconstruction when it may not effect the issue of pinched nerve preventing any resemblance of a future that ensures quality of life. I'm on the fence now. I'm from MA where the only good thing was the quality of care. I'm not saying they are all competent but I would be in rehab now & not be stuck with a multi dollar co-pay. I will not mortgage my home for the state or hospital to put a lien on it. It's in a living trust & will. I moved to SD to escape being homeless & broke in 3-5 yrs because of the sanctuary state woke BS & taxes paying for illegals & also to fulfill my promise to my gran daughter. In closing I will update this review to reflect the outcome ......if & when it occurs.

Please beware of this doctor! I went for a consultation with Dr. Curd (hand surgeon for Orthopedic…read moreInstitute) for a small infection on the side of my finger close to the nail area; after only being prescribed on an antibiotic for 5 days Dr. Curd told me that he thought he should remove my fingernail to get rid of the infection. I did not agree with this solution and asked him if he would just make a simple incision to drain the infection. He laughed at this idea and then went on to use scare tactics stating I might lose my finger if he didn't take the nail off. So after being told this I reluctantly agreed to have my nail removed surgically. The day of the surgery he was running 2 hours late and I should have been smart and left while I had the chance because what happened after the surgery was nothing but sheer torture. When I awoke after the surgery my finger was wrapped up tightly and I was sent home. After the anesthesia wore off I was at a full 10 pain level that no pain med could even touch. My fingernail looked and felt like it had been ripped right off my finger like they do to torture people in third world countries. For 6 months straight this excruciating burning and stabbing pain in my finger was constant 24/7. I could not work, drive anywhere, sleep, or even function on a day to day basis. I tried every pain med available, nerve pain meds, complete nerve block to my entire right arm, and 3 ganglion stellate nerve block injections with absolutely no relief. I would lay on my bathroom floor screaming in pain and my body would go into complete shock from the intensity of the pain. I would go back to Dr. Curd and beg for him to make the pain stop and he would jokingly make comments like "Well before you go and jump off the 11th floor let's get you over to the pain clinic". This man is heartless and so arrogant that he would also make comments like "That finger is my signature." I ended up having to seek out another hand surgeon that would help me through this horrible tragedy in order to save my finger. The nail bed had been damaged so badly from Dr. Curd's surgery that I could see the bone of my finger. My finger now was in such extreme danger of getting an infection in the bone that my new doctor was concerned he may have to amputate part of it. But along with my diligent care to my finger and my new doctors guidance together we saved my finger. I am so thankful to God and the other doctor that today I still have this finger but unfortunately I lost my range of motion in it and because Dr. Curd damaged so much tissue in the tip of my finger it is now also very deformed. Today I can only share my story with others in hopes to save another person from being hurt and treated so poorly by this so called "Doctor"; Blake Curd. "To Do No Harm" is not in his oath.
