Q: Can I sue my gynecologist for pain and suffering. I have been to the gynecologist four times.
My first appt was for a cervical biopsy, it came back insufficient.
Went back second time same thing
Went back third time, finally a good test. But they are running the wrong test.
Came back again upset, they finally ran a pap
Go to surgery today and can’t have surgery my results aren’t back.
It’s several patients coming back in for the same reason wrong test and insufficient testing. I spoke with the office manager, because it seems like they are doing this on purpose to charge you for office visits and bill your insurance constantly: These procedures are really painful and takes days to recover from.
A:
Medical malpractice requires a breach in the standard of care and damages from the breach.
A doctor would have to provide if there was a breach. You do have damages, but you would need attorney consultations to determine if the damages warrant bringing a case.
