Austin, TX asked in Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury for Texas

Q: I was told that I would die if I left the doctors care at a rather huge hospital. They stole my phone & gave me drugs.

Bad drugs and they failed to investigate with my Pharmacy & the Mayo Clinic Drug side effects. I insited on leaving. I found out the Side effects were vey dangerous, which is why I ended up ther in the first place. I still do not have a phone, and this keeps me from doctors and working. This theft is on their own tapes. I can confirm with my surgeon the power of having a phone. I use it to sleep and heal, My surgeon will confirm that there is no evidence of the shattered hip tey repaired.

A: With few exceptions (such as that you are a threat to yourself of others - as determined by physicianS - You have a legal right to privacy, property and to communicate with persons who are not within the scope of a health care facility's authority. THEREFORE, I suggest that you confer with a medical malpractice attorney. When so doing, you have a duty to provide full details of your relevant medical history, allegations, and damage you claim caused injury or loss (i.e., Did you in fact suffer the side effects and complications that you described above.)
