More details to this question:
I went to a hospital ER for a dislocated elbow however no attempt was made to set it, no x-rays were taken they just soft cast me and sent on my way. They provided me with a referral which I contacted however they did not accept my insurance which recently changed (HMO) I had no pcp so getting a referral was trying I ended up back at a different ER 19 days later in which they advised surgery was needed due to time passed. Am I just reaching at straws here?

Dear Shuree,
I am sorry to hear about this and hope your condition improves. It sounds like you will need further medical work-up to determine whether the delay has caused permanent damage to your elbow. That being said, the answer to your question can only be obtained through medical expert review of your medical records to determine whether the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused or contributed to causing you serious and permanent injuries. A Personal Injury/ Medical Malpractice Attorney can assist you in exploring these issues by interviewing you in depth and reviewing your medical records prior to potentially sending them out for review by the appropriate medical experts. We all give free consultations; however, you will have to reach out, as we are unable to solicit on this forum. Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation for bringing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short given the complexity involved in such cases.
