More details to this question:
My boyfriend received surgery this PAST THURSDAY for the removal of his gallbladder. During the process of the surgery when his surgeon was trying to remove the gallbladder he made a small hole in his intestine. My boyfriend was finally discharged Saturday afternoon around 3-4pm but once he got home his pain worsened and he had difficulty breathing on his own. Is this worth pursuing and filing a case or is there even a case at all?

It depends on if there is permanent damage and how much it costs to fix the problem. It might be a case.
