Medical Malpractice cases are exceedingly difficult to pursue and win in Wisconsin. It has practically become non-existent. I wrote a blog about it at our web site and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel did an excellent article about it last year. This does not sound like a malpractice case. You may have a complaint about the quality of care and service you received, but it wouldn't be medical malpractice unless you suffered a serious and perhaps long term incapacitating medical injury as a result. If you decide to look into it further, keep in the mind the 3 year limit for filing a lawsuit from the date of the occurrence  for medical malpractice in WI.
