Q: Last month went to Princess Alexandria Hospital & I had a training team botch a bilateral biopsy causing a "hametoma,"

Do you do any medical malpractice complaints regarding deliberate missdiagnosis causing a delay in incorrect treatment?

1 Lawyer Answer

A: I'm sorry for your ordeal. Could that be the Princess Alexandria Hospital in Harlowe, UK or Brisbane, Australia? If so, you could reach out to local attorneys/solicitors where you are located to discuss further. You haven't reached a law firm here (your question suggested you might have been under the impression you were dealing with a law firm here. This is only a public Q & A forum where attorneys answer questions. If the facility is in the United States, you could add a city or region to make it easier for local attorneys to respond. Under U.S. med mal legal doctrine, what you describe could form the basis of a case, based on improper diagnosis, among other possible theories. If you are overseas, it's likely your jurisdiction would follow this premise or one similar. You could reach out to attorneys/solicitors to try to set up a free initial consult. I hope you are okay. Good luck
