HMO wants me to see an in network doctor that is not qualified for major surgery

I need surgery for a life threatening condition and my HMO wants me to see a doctor that has only done the surgery one time ever. I have been appealing and in the mean time I am on ever increasing morphine for pain. My jaw is fused shut and there is a danger of brain being exposed because of bone loss. My HMO is Blue Care Network of Michigan
