Surgical Clarity Division
Stopping the Slide from Surgical Neglect to Opioid Risk
This Is Where It Began
I had knee surgery. I went home with no pain meds. Within days, I knew something was wrong.
The swelling didn’t go down. The pain never made sense. I told my surgeon. She told me I was fine.
I wasn’t.
- I was only prescribed a brace because I told them I’d be traveling overseas.
- I was instructed to wear it occasionally.
But I ended up wearing it every day — not because they said I needed it, but because my body
did.
Five months later, I walked into her office and told her, “My kneecap is still in the wrong place.”
She didn’t say the surgery had been botched.
She didn’t take accountability.
But she looked at me like she knew: she was about to be sued.
And still — no apology. No admission.
Just: “You’ll need another surgery. This one will be more painful, and take longer to heal.”
That Was the Moment Everything Shifted
I had done everything right. I listened. I waited. I trusted.
And in return, I got silence, gaslighting, and a second surgical sentence.
My first instinct? To find painkillers. To fake symptoms.
To get something — anything — to make the pain stop.
But I didn’t. I was fortunate.
I found a physician who understood what had been done to me, and gave me the medication I needed to stay stable.
Most people aren’t that lucky.
This Is the Opioid Epidemic’s Real Front Door
We talk about addiction like it’s a chemical problem. But the real story starts in surgical recovery — when pain is denied, trauma is ignored, and patients are abandoned.
Most people don’t set out to misuse pain medication. They don’t “become addicts.”
They’re forced into desperation because the system refuses to acknowledge their suffering.
That’show people fall into the opioid crisis:
- After being told they’re “fine”
- After a botched procedure
- After pain without help
- After nights spent wondering if they’ll have to lie or break themselves to be believed
That’s why The Resilience Project created the Surgical Clarity Division.

This Is for People Like You — and Me
- If you were told you were fine when you weren’t
- If you weren’t given pain meds
- If you wore a brace because your body begged for protection
- If your surgery failed, and no one would admit it
- If you considered doing something just to make the pain stop
- If you caught yourself right before that edge — or if you didn’t
This Is Not Recovery. This Is Resilience — Structured.
You don’t owe the system your silence.
You don’t owe your surgeon your patience.
You don’t owe anyone the benefit of the doubt anymore.
What they did to you can’t be undone.
But it can be documented.
It can be named.
And it can be the reason no one else goes through it again.
