Without divulging details a surgeon performed an unwanted procedure as part of another one that was needed. The needed one worked as intended, the unwanted one created a major medical issue not easily corrected. To compound things no other surgeon has been willing to touch or even go into detail about it.

It is a very specialized field of law and successful cases require not only a high degree of competence, they almost always hinge on the level of professional testimony from medical experts to connect the harm caused with the physician's negligence. Be aware that because of the strength of the medical professionals' lobbying power, most states have very doctor-friendly rules and statutes. For example, some states require you to proceed first to a medical-legal screening panel before filing suit; other states have very short statute of limitations periods in which to file your claim. The best advice is to see a competent attorney as soon as possible and go from there. bobcattrappingresources.myshopify.com

So do I call the "one call" ones or the local guy by the courthouse. I know I need a specialist but I don't subscribe to the courthouse newspaper so I dont know just who is winning or settling or making things right. For the record, I want things fixed and restored to the best possible not a cash go away deal with it thing. I'm not even sure yet if things have gotten to legal filing stage, I haven't even gotten to the raise heck with the hospital staff yet. Actually the nurses and staff have done the best they can.

Your average "run of the mill" attorney doesn't specialize in medical malpractice. There are some that do. When and if you find one that takes your case they have medical experts they work with. You know you're old when you walk past a rest room and think, as long as I'm here........
