Q: Can I sue a dr if he done surgery and released me with swelling and a knot telling me it would go down them had another
A:
It depends on whether you could demonstrate that the doctor breached a duty of medical care owed to you. That would be a determination that could be made by a review of your medical records. This is something to discuss with a West Virginia attorney, but your post remains open for a week. You could try to arrange a free initial consult with a West Virginia med mal attorney. If upon discussing the matter with you in further detail they felt you had the basis for a possible case, they could request a copy of your records. Good luck
