QUESTION
What are my chances of establishing a case against a Doctor¿s negligence below?
Asked on Jun 17th, 2012 on Medical Malpractice - North Carolina
More details to this question:
On 3/10/12- I went for a routine check up and ask the doctor to advice on numerous stomach symptoms, which still persist in a (lower scale). Doc advised it may be a "Stomach Virus" and proceeded with a breath balloon medicaided test that will confirm if positive or negative. No one from the Medical Clinic ever contacted me with the "Positive" results.
Given test above was positive with, H Pylori stomach virus (infection). Due to this negligence, I went untreated until I felt very ill to the point of fainting on 5/16/2012. I re-visit the clinic and found out that the testing of 3/10/12 (above) was positive.
This Medical Clinic failed to confirm and reschedule me for a proper treatment. Do I have a case against this horrible Clinic?

Failure to advise you of a test result that prevented you from getting appropriate care would be negligence, but the question is whether you have a financially viable case worth pursuing.
