Q: Hello my name is Jonathan T. I have had a medical issue since I was a child(13) and was diagnosed with gastroentoritis.
Gastroentoritis is something that needs to be handled with care on what food you may eat containing to greasy or sauce or acid things of that such.They proceeded to tell me I had to have a emergency surgery because the doctor said it was something that they THOUGhT was going to cause problems in the future and so they removed my gullbladder. Well I am 27 years old now I still to this day in 2020 have severe stomach problems I am in the hospital a couple times a month.
After my gullbladder was removed I was told my stomach issues were from smoking. They did multiple catscans and xrays throughout the years. Recently I was in the hospital again and they did a scope procedure down my stomach and so I was diagnosed with an ulcer even on my paperwork well now I am being told it is not an ulcer and that it could be an intestine. Tell me how I would go about this as a lawsuit
A:
I'm sorry for your ordeal with these conditions. This is a very complex situation. It also involves a very long timeline. These elements could make it daunting for a plaintiff's attorney. The best way to evaluate the matter would probably be to approach Pennsylvania med mal attorneys to try to arrange a consultation. Attorneys who handle these types of cases generally offer free initial consults. If an attorney expressed an interest in the case, they would likely need to request the file and review the documents with a medical professional. Good luck
