More details to this question:
My son had surgery Wednesday to replace his central line in his chest that he has had for 5months and have been repaired 5times. After his surgery, he was brought back to the room and I notice that he was having hard time breathing. Then moments later, he went to get an x-ray and I notice bleeding underneath his chest where the central line was placed. So we got back to the room and he was placed on oxygen. The x-ray revealed fluid in his lungs. My son had to undergo surgery and anesthesia again. The plan was to drain fluid and do repeat same surgery. Something went wrong with the surgery and I need answers. Kameron, my son came up her last Monday with a fever. All test came back negative, no infection. And now is in ICU.

You have time to deal with the legal consequences of everything after the dust settles from the medical crisis that you are in the middle of. If there are lasting problems and you want to investigate a malpractice case after your son's condition has stabilized, contact an attorney at that time.
