Q: I'm looking to see what can be done. I received a circumcision in 2018 and I am having trouble due to the surgery.
The Dr was unable to complete the procedure in his office due to the anesthetic not being strong enough. This left me having to go to the emergency room to scope my urethra because it collapsed during the procedure. I then had to have a catheter put In and sent home for a over a week with this thing in me. After the swelling and bruising finally went down, I went to the surgery center for the circumcision. I am now having trouble catching an erection due to the surgery. Apparently the Dr in question, removed too much skin and now it continues to RIP open when I catch an erection. This is very painful and dont know what can be done. Is there anything that I can do?
A: You have until 365 days after date of discovery but no more than 3 years after the malpractice occurred. So get to a medical malpractice lawyer quickly.
