Q: I had to be taken to emergency room last month for back problem's. They needed to operate. When being diagnosed by one
Of the doctor's it came to my attention that my pain management office documented that i recently or after the one they had done 5 years before had exray done on my back, which they had not. The physician and family members seemed confused why? Should i be thinking of legal action
A:
A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, it could be difficult to speculate on an x-ray that could have been taken five years ago, statute of limitations issues aside (a Pennsylvania attorney should advise on that). At any rate, that would be a call that a medical professional would need to make. You could reach out to med mal attorneys to discuss in more detail than is possible in the brief format of this Q & A board. Good luck
