I cannot answer your question based on the facts that you provide. Ordinarily, you would not expect an IV left in someone's arm for a period of time to cause a significant injury, and it is hard to imagine how the IV could have been negligently "missed" by the hospital staff, since it is an obvious condition (it is usually attached to a bag on a pole).
Something appears to be lost in the translation here.
Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
