Certainly based on your account, you have a potential cause of action against the physician. I strongly recommend you consult an experienced lawyer who does medical malpractice work very soon. Depending on the circumstances, the statute of limitations can be as short as 180 days from the time of the negligent act, or the time when a reasonable person should have known of the negligence. (This is if the physician is employed by the State of Wisconsin.) Generally, the statute of limitations in actions against a privately employed doc is 3 years in this State. Contact an experienced med-mal lawyer as soon as you can. I am sorry to hear about your suffering, and I wish you the best.
