A: You need a second opinion from another orthopedic surgeon, and then a consultation with a medical malpractice attorney. This could be a real case.
A: You need to get your medical records and review them with an attorney. If he did the wrong surgery on you, you have a good malpractice case against the doctor and/or the Hospital. You should call a good personal injury lawyer and discuss this with him or her.
A: You should do as suggested already here but I would add that you need to move ASAP. The laws favor the medical profession and there are many areas that can cause a potential case to be worth nothing. The most important is that there are strict time limits in which you need to take action. So contact an attorney right away.
