A: A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm very sorry for the loss of your husband. Based on these limited facts, it's a little bit difficult to comment meaningfully, whether on the long wait to be seen or the element of what kind of diagnosis was made. The best thing to do would be to reach out to attorneys to discuss the matter in more detail. If upon a more detailed discussion of the matter with you a law firm felt there could be a basis for a case, they could request the patient file to review with a medical professional. Most med mal firms offer free initial consults. Good luck
