Q: I am a quadriplegic and have been in the chronic pain and urinating all over myself for almost a year.
So I went to the urologist Dr and he made me an appointment to come back and get put under anesthesia to take a camera up my urethra look in my bladder to see what's going on. Well I woke up and they said everything was fine and not worry about it. So I made an appointment for about a month later to have it changed and Dr turned me away. So I had to change my catheter and I found out there is another hole that goes into my uterus instead of my bladder. and I have a neurogenic bowel and bladder can cause me to have strokes. I can't believe he turned me away he must have known there is something wrong but they never told me that all they put on the discharge know was I had a bacterial infection
A:
An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. You could reach out to Indiana med mal attorneys to discuss in further. Attorneys in this field typically offer free initial consults. If an attorney identified the basis for a case, they could request your file documents and review with a medical professional. In terms of your suspicions about not being told things about your condition at the time of your discharge, it's likely a deposition would be required to determine that. Good luck
