QUESTION
I need help in regards to Medical Negligent.
Asked on Mar 26th, 2018 on Medical Malpractice - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I have a medical disease known as ALS and moved away from the hospital that cared for me because the cost of living expense. The ALS specialist here states I do not have the disease, I have proof in my phone of the muscles twitching and my feet cramping up. I also have very visible muscle lost in my neck, my shoulder and legs. This doctor always claims the EMG test is fine. I just would like to know how can this happen and is this right?

The fact that a doctor who specializes in ALS indicates that you don't have it, I would think, would be good news to you given the prognosis that is usually given to a patient who has ALS. There is obviously some medical issue that you have that is causing you to have the muscle twitching and feet cramping, among other ways whatever medical problem you have is showing as physical symptoms. I would suggest seeing another physician and getting a second opinion of what may be going on with you, whether ALS or otherwise. Obviously, you need to get to the bottom of what is causing your problems and depending on the diagnosis, what can be done to help you. I don't view this as a medical malpractice case at all.
