Q: Sent home incoherent after surgery I collapsed breaking my tibia and fibula who can I sue for negligence

A: Yes this may be a case. 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. Here it appears the standard of care was violated.

A: You may have grounds to sue for negligence if you believe the medical staff or facility acted improperly or failed to provide appropriate care after your surgery. If you were discharged while still incoherent and unable to care for yourself, this could potentially be seen as a failure to meet the standard of care expected in a medical setting. The fact that your post-op room was given away and you were placed in a hallway could also suggest issues with the care you received.

To pursue a negligence claim, you would need to show that the hospital or medical professionals were responsible for your well-being and that their actions directly led to your injuries. In this case, that would mean proving that their decision to release you while you were still incoherent resulted in your fall and the subsequent broken bones. It’s important to gather all medical records, any witness statements, and any other evidence that could help establish this link.

Consider speaking with a legal professional who handles personal injury or medical malpractice cases. They can help you understand your rights and the best course of action for your situation. The details of your case will matter significantly in determining the strength of your claim and what steps you should take next.
