Lee Passmore was a middle-aged man who lived in Plano, Texas.

He'd been suffering from chronic lower back pain for years when his doctor recommended that he see a new neurosurgeon in town.

Passmore's pain radiated from his lower back down his legs, and he was very anxious to get the problem fixed.

He thought the surgery was going to live in feeling better. Instead, the doctor who operated on him made it worse.

Dr. Dunc was fishing in a pond at night. Another doctor in the operating room, Dr. Hoyle, demanded that Dunc step aside and stop what he was doing.

Dunc actually responded, I'm operating by feel, not by sight. Thankfully, Hoyle intervened anyway and stepped between Dunc and his patient, who by now was losing lots of blood.

Hoyle was able to stop the bleeding and stabilize Passmore, but there was a problem.

When Lee woke up in the intensive care unit, he felt like his back and legs were on fire. When his family came to visit, they could hear him screaming down the hall as they got off the elevator.
