Q: A med pro wrote a mental eval with direct lies in it One is obvious enough in court I think: Is that libel/malpractice
It was for a monetary position and I think the report was edited before being sent to me verses the report sent to the decision makers in the situation. So she basically changed my medical records before sending them to me *after taking steps to keep me from seeing the report at all. There are still lies and gross exaggerations throughout. Also I feel I was misdirected in taking a standardized test which helps to keep evaluation's fair regardless of the physician.
A:
It is neither liable or legal malpractice. It may be another tort and you may be able to add your own notes to the record.
Even if we discuss your case further, I will not be your attorney until we both sign a fee agreement. There are strict time deadlines so that you must file your lawsuit in Court or take other action.
