It's illegal for a PA to perform surgery. They are NOT Doctors, let alone surgeons, is it possible that the PA only assisted and the forms were filled out wrong? If you can't get the surgeon to answer you, contact the hospitals chief of staff, I guarantee you he/she will get to the bottom if it quickly.
