After consulting with Dr. Craig Pearce, I agreed to go to Hotel Dieu Hospital for vein dilation. On my 2nd hospital visit for vein dilation, October 20, 2017, I experienced two open wounds, followed by black tissue, redness and infection. These wounds healed in February 2018, after many visits to CCAC for wound care. I am now left with scars for what I thought was a simple vein dilation procedure.
