Would you Sue?

For Medical Malpractice if:

You were sick from July of 2003 to May of 2004 and didn't even know about it because the Doctors never informed you?

And on top of that you can prove that you never even took a test that happens to show you were sick.

The Doctors have a test result of an ultra sound showing I had a large mass back in July 2003. A test I never even took.

The strange thing is I was sick. When I went into the emergency at the end of April this year I was aked if I had taken care of the mass they found back in July 03. I had no idea what they were talking about.

The ER Doc performed an ultra sound right there in the ER. I told he there is no way I would forget this. That initial Ultra sound didn't show anything. So I was hoping it was all a huge mistake.

But she ran more tests and the mass showed on each of those.

If you plan to sue, do not let them know of your intent to sue until after you collect evidence of injury. Once you make an attempt to sue, you will face the most dishonest, and ruthless people you have ever met, so prepare yourself for the worst. Do plenty of research and see if you are actually entitled to some type of compensation for your injury..........it will take quite an injury before an attorney will be willing to take your case on a contigency basis.........have fun, and I wish you well.

Sounds like they got your records confused with someone else. I can't imagine getting an ultra-sound test and not being aware of it unless you were unconscious. I would get another test from a different source before you get involved in any litigation. Some of those dishonest and ruthless people that brownboy is talking about are lawyers. Litigation is a spiritually draining experience.

Well, emotionally draining anyway!

Sandy,

I would probably meet with an attorney just to find out if you have a case. If you have an HMO (like Kaiser) suing may not be an option -- you might have to go into binding arbitration. There are certain time frames in which you have to file a claim -- that is where meeting with an attorney can give you some guidance.

Best of luck to you in whatever you decide.

Hi Sandy

You confused me a bit there, well more than a bit. But if you are ill and the doctors did not produce such to tell you that you were. I would first find out if the mass has any ill effects to your health, i.e., you can't get pregnant now or you have lost a baby because of such-- you are dying of cancer or have lost organs to such because they failed to treat you at a proper time.

If this is the case and the outcome is going to cost you your life or that of another then yes I may think of such. However if you are planing to sue. I would not comment any further in public, where what you say may be used aginst you in your suit. Here on the net to be exact.

If they have given you the wrong results as your seem to say in the above quote, then I would chalk it down to human error and hope that it never happens again and the Dr learns from his/her mistake.
