I’m sorry you’ve been treated this way. To pursue a malpractice claim, everything starts with documentation. Request your complete medical records from the hospital and EMS provider in writing. They’re required to give them to you. Once you have the records, schedule an appointment with an independent neurologist or spinal specialist to evaluate the pain you describe. Their exam and imaging can confirm whether the original care fell below the accepted standard and caused lasting harm. If that evaluation supports what you’ve experienced, bring the records and new findings to a medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can also consider filing a written complaint with the hospital’s patient advocate office. Taking these steps will create a clear paper trail, help safeguard your health going forward, and provide a malpractice lawyer with the necessary information to assess your claim.
