Q: My sister had a procedure that rendered her infertile.

The doctors did not properly explain that this was a possible side effect. Does this constitute malpractice even though the surgery went well otherwise?

That depends on whether or not there was a breach of medical standards of care. Do you have reason to believe inappropriate care was given? If so consultation with a lawyer to review your claim would be the next step. www.trialhawk.com.
