My son was taken to urgent care for his broken index finger. General physician did his split and was given an appointment for a week later as per her she talked with the hand specialist and they suggested that it will be ok but now when he was seen after a week they are telling us that usually a next day appointment is given for such cases and everything gets healed perfectly. Now his finger will be crooked for whole his life which could impact his sports career and emotionally is impacting him. I feel some one is lying in this case and its pure negligence on the part of urgent care negligence that he will have this deformity for life.
Medical malpractice cases are very difficult to pursue and win in Wisconsin; I wrote a blog about it at our firm's web site. The Milwaukee Journal-sentinel did an essay about it as well, last year. Have you consulted with a hand surgeon on what can be done for your son? It may be an entirely treatable or correctable condition; if not, and he has a permanent finger/hand problem, gather up all of his medical records and have them reviewed by a malpractice lawyer.
