Q: I went to St Joseph emergency room with a swollen leg and in pain.
They did an ultra sound looking for a blood clot. I was told I didn’t have one. I went to my primary doctor three days later. The pain was getting worse by the day. I said it was a 7 if touched 10. When my doctor got the results from
St Josephs found out they did the wrong ultra sound to find a blood clot. When St Luke’s did an ultrasound I did have a blood clot. I had to give myself 25 shots in the stomach 2 a day.
A:
There wasn't a question here, but your post remains open for three weeks. If you're wondering whether you have the grounds for a case, a good first step toward answering that question would be to contact a Kansas med mal attorney and discuss the matter in greater detail. If an attorney felt that you had a case that was viable to pursue, they could request your hospital records and review them with a medical professional. Most attorneys in this field offer free initial consults. Good luck
