More details to this question:
After months of problems, I was finally able to get an MRI of my neck and I had to have 3 cervical discs removed and fused together. The dr told my Mom it was worse when he got in there and that if I had had an accident or fall I would have been paralyzed. Is this a malpractice case?

If there was some permanent damage caused by the delay in the diagnosis, you probably do not have a financially viable medical malpractice case. Three months of pain and suffering that was substantially cured through surgery would not warrant a malpractice case. If you have any doubt about these issues, however, consult a local malpractice attorney. Generally speaking, the initial consultation is free.
