Q: Can I sue my Primary care physician for Malpractice or Negligence? What are my options?
I have been a new patient with the Doctor since January 2024. It's not been easy to get the necessary referrals to the specialists I needed because he would rather handle it himself. I'm suffering from bad gut bacteria & he placed me on the FODMAP Diet but restricted where most of the things on the diet he didn't want me to eat like Potatoes. I was living on Unsweetened Plain Lactose-free Yogurt, Unsweetened Plain Lactose-free Kefir Milk, Almond Milk Chicken, Beef, Pork, Eggs, Mild Cheddar Cheese, Water, White Rice, Fresh Blueberries, Broth, Bacon, Lettuce, and Mandarin Orange. My calorie intake was under 500 per day when I was supposed to have about 1700 per day. Being on this diet for over 4 weeks put me in a weak state where it has made me so weak that it gave me heart rhythm feelings that weren't normal. I did a portable ECG with the Kardia device that showed I had A-fib so I had to call an Ambulance cause I felt I was going to pass out. Theres more but there's no space here
