More details to this question:
I saw him in the ER after 1 1/2 days of severe stomach pain, and 3 days of not eating or holding anything down. He did some blood tests, a shot of Morphine (which made the problem worse) but was told there was no way it did. A stomach x-ray. was told all tests were normal and there was nothing else he could do for me. Was sent away in extreme pain. Went to another doctor and the next day was in emergency surgery for a twisted colon, that had not only twisted once, but twice. If i had believed there was nothing wrong with me except Gastritis (his diagnosis) and not found another doctor, my outcome could have been deadly.

I do not think you have a financially viable case. The delay in care did not result in permanent harm. Medical malpractice cases are very costly and time consuming for lawyers to pursue, and in most circumstances attorneys will not take them on unless a patient suffered a significant permanent injury that causes substantial disability as a result of the medical mistake.
Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
