No more than it would be for you to not realize you have a large tampon there in your hygene regimen. There simply are no damages you described hear that support a medical malpractice claim. You can make a complaint with the ultrasound tech facility but don't expect any legal case or settlement money. ... Read Answer

Get the sonogram films and other test results reviewed by another obstetrician. That is the only way to answer your question. It seems highly unlikely that an obstetrician would abort an otherwise heathy fetus unless the doctor was very sure your son had acrania, which has a 100 percent mortality rate. However, it is understandable that you are haunted by the surgeon's comment that she "wasn't sure" if your son had a skull or not. Another doctor will be sure. If it turns out that your son did not have acrania and you were induced to have an abortion wrongfully, you have an action for medical malpractice against the doctors who advised you to abort, for compensation for your mental anguish. I am sorry for your loss. ... Read Answer

If you received the epidural shot less than 2 1/2 years ago and it can be proven that the infection was caused by the pain management doctor's violation of the standard of care, you might have a case. You must have an expert willing to give an opinion that, within a reasonable degree of medical certainty, "but for" the actions/inaction of the doctor who gave the shots, you would not have contracted viral meningitis. ...

You might have a case for medical malpractice, but it seems very unusual that the surgeon admitted that there was nothing wrong with your appendix but removed it anyway. More information is needed about the entire medical situation, which can only be obtained by reviewing the medical records. ... Read Answer

Angelo,  I am so sorry that you suffered through this. Do you know if there are any lasting or permanent effects as a result of the drug interaction? I would be very interested in speaking with you further.  And of course, it is not your job to diagnose or be aware of potential adverse effects from the interaction of these drugs.... Read Answer

You will need to obtain a complete copy of your dental records and have them reviewed by a personal injury (malpractice) lawyer. They will consult with an outside dentist or periodontist to determine if you have a viable claim.  The statute of limitations for medical malpractice (including dental) in the State of WI is three years. Failure to file a  lawsuit within three years from the date of the occurrence would forever bar your claim. If the treatment occurred approaching nearly three years ago, time is of the essence....

It may be medical negligence.   An attorney would need more information to determine.  Including but not limited to the medical records.  There is a 2 year statute of limitations.  If you are left with permanent damage get your records and have an attorney review.  ... Read Answer

Yes, you can sue, as long as this happened less than 2 1/2 years ago, you have a permanent injury as a result of the failure to diagnose, and you can get a doctor to testify that but for the failure to diagnose the cancer, he/she is reasonably certain you would have had a good outcome.  If, on the other hand, you were diagnosed correctly by another doctor in time to get successful treatment, you have no case. ...

I would need more information to evaluate your case. To recover in a medical malpractice claim, you must prove that the health care provider was negligent and that such negligence caused your injury or damage. An unsuccessful surgery or unexpected outcome, in and of itself, doese not prove that the physician was negligent. All of the medical records related to the surgery and your medical care would need to be reviewed by an expert to determine if you have a claim to pursue.... Read Answer
