Is this a medical malpractice case?

It is hard to answer your question because I don't have a good understanding of what the ultimate condition was that you are diagnosed with that led to the second hospital admission. Certainly, at face value, when you are discharged from hospital after voicing complaints and then readmitted because of the same complaints and then treated for a period of time for an emergent condition you have reason to suspect that you received negligent care. The question is, however, what was the impact of that delay in care on the ultimate outcome? If you would have had to have been hospitalized anyway or the second hospitalization cured your problems you probably do not have a financially viable case. The articles below discuss this issue. If you think the delay in care impacted your health in a permanent way and you want to investigate a malpractice case, you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney (one in your state).  They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts,  ideally with experience in cases that involve your medical issue. If you are unable to find a lawyer who meets these qualifications within your state, sometimes you may contact an out of state lawyer who can refer you to a qualified attorney in your state while providing support related to the issues of medicine.   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.   Click here for an article that discusses the three main questions I ask when deciding whether to investigate a potential medical malpractice case.
