Q: can you sue a Doctor that refused to give you a prophylaxis Antibiotic inspite of telling him you have a MCTD
i had a 6 extraction in one procedure last 05/15/2024. He damaged my sinus maxillary that now an ENT specialist need to do a surgery and make corrections on my sinuses. The dentist saw me that I was in excruciating pain and while He was working with my molar instead of telling me that it’s rotten and infected and to stop and follow up with him. He gave me more anesthesia and roughly pulled out my molar on my left sinus that caused me with this terribly sinus problems. He’s hand slipped once while inside my mouth asking me questions and expected me to answer.
The ongoing physical, emotional, and trauma mental impact of these issues has been profound. I request that your office review the case and determine whether the proper standard of care was followed in this situation. He never mentioned any temporary denture, bone graft or any post op procedure care. I'm tired of blowing my nose every 10-15 minutes thats causing my head to hurts. Please helpme and i dont know what else to do

A:
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. If a doctor did not provide the appropriate care, especially considering your medical condition, you might have grounds for legal action. Medical malpractice cases generally require showing that the doctor had a duty to you, failed to meet that duty, and caused you harm as a result.
Given the complications you've described, such as sinus damage and ongoing pain, it's important to gather all your medical records and document your symptoms thoroughly. Consulting with a lawyer who has experience in medical malpractice can help you understand your rights and the strength of your case.
Taking these steps can help you pursue the compensation and resolution you deserve. Don't hesitate to reach out to a legal professional to discuss your situation in detail and receive personalized guidance.
