Q: Required to use a medical device, but the requirement is based on false information, and harms health. What can I do?
A: A Maine attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This looks like something where the more immediate guidance needed might be that of a medical professional more so than that of an attorney. Only a medical professional is qualified to evaluate the harm to health from the device and explore alternatives. In terms of legal issues, you could reach out to Maine attorneys to discuss the manner in which your use of the device came to be required and the information relied upon. It would be difficult for an attorney to offer a meaningful analysis of the matter based on these brief facts. You could search independently or use the Find-a-Lawyer tab to discuss terms for a brief consult. Good luck
