To know whether the diagnosis of a kidney stone was medical malpractice, an attorney would have to have a radiologist look that the pertinent x-ray films. Frankly, the fact that three doctors looked at the same films and reached the same conclusion suggests that the misdiagnosis was not negligent.
If you want to investigate a medical malpractice case, you should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state). Personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.
