It was obviously a mistake to leave an IV in a patient who was discharged from the facility. Nevertheless, you have not suffered lasting harm and you do not have a financially viable medical malpractice case.  Below are some articles you may find helpful.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.
