One of the screws holding my spine in place snapped

Hey, just wanted to comment also and say I am a former complaint investigator for a spinal orthopedic company, please make sure if you have enough information that you file a complaint with the company. A "complaint" doesn't necessarily mean you are upset/looking to gain anything or take action, but they need this real world information to accurately data trend their failures. For example if they expect 1 in every 1000 to break, and suddenly 100 in every 1000 are breaking, something new is happening that needs investigating. Theoretically the doctor may have already done this, but wouldn't hurt for you to do it also (the company can figure out based on incident date etc that it was the same event and won't double count it). The information about your side effects is also useful for them, the engineers will put this in their risk assessments if not already accounted for. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions about the process, and wishing you a smooth recovery!
