Q: Potential medical malpractice case: delayed hemorrhage/stroke diagnosis led to epilepsy and severe career impact.
Seeking legal representation for a potential medical malpractice case involving a delayed brain hemorrhage (stroke) diagnosis leading to epilepsy. My May 2021 MRI revealed a hemorrhage, but it was not disclosed. Recently diagnosed with epilepsy after presenting to ER with right-sided weakness, seizures originate from the hemorrhage site. A recent brain MRI on Aug 16, 2024 ignored crucial SWAN imaging, raising concerns of a deliberate cover-up. I’m a NY Times bestselling author. This has severely impacted my health, career, and well-being. I have records available for review.
A:
This is most likely a valid malpractice case, showing both liability and damages/harm. Medical malpractice means that a doctor violated the standard of care. A bad outcome is not enough. Another doctor would be needed to evaluate what the doctors did.
