In order to pursue a medical malpractice claim, you will need to have another doctor render an opinion that the first surgeon's care fell below the standard of care and that the problems you are having came about as a result. Medical malpractice claims are very difficult to win, particularly in North Carolina. But, if you receive such an opinion from another doctor, you should speak with a personal injury attorney who specializes in medical malpractice claims. Good luck.
