Q: the Er put me at risk by not looking at test results they had in hand the same day but called me 4 days later to come
The staff had triaged me, had all the test results in hand, had the ekg in hand, had used one of those finger tip pulse/oxygen things a couple of times. My heart rate was at a 29-32 they sent me home and a cardiologist finally read tithe ekg 4 days later that is when they called me to come back in. Yes I was still extremely ill at home
A:
A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. At this point, you could reach out to med mal attorneys to discuss the matter in greater detail, including the extent of damages you suffered. If an attorney felt there might be a basis for a case, they could request your records and review with a medical professional. Good luck
