I was not suppose to take this medicine because I still have my uterus. Now I have an abnormal pap smear. More test to come. What should I do?

The doctor may be liable However, you must first have actual damages. It's to early to tell with the single reading if you have lasting damages.

If you can find a doctor who will testify that your doctor committed malpractice in prescribing the hormones, then you may make a claim for malpractice.

To answer the first question, there cannot be a case unless you were injured. Since you have not yet been diagnosed with uterine cancer, you have not been injured. To answer the second question, you should follow the advice of your doctors.
