I'm asking this for my girlfriend (It's a distant relationship, she is from the US and I'm from Germany ) because we need the inheritance money that she got from her father to pay for medical expenses (a lawyer already handled the money, she just needs to open the account).

At some points I have been put through extreme pain, and would like to find out who is doing it. At times it has been so painful that if I were to find out who is responsible I would like to kill them and eat them.

Most researchers agree that V2K technology isn’t real. It is impossible to ascertain who is “responsible” for something that isn’t real.

My friend misdiagnosed me and I was stuck in the hospital for a mental disease. I was never his official patient. Does this count as malpractice?
answered on Feb 6, 2023
I assume your friend is a Dr???? A misdiagnosis by itself does not constitute malpractice. If you believe there is malpractice here consult with a medical malpractice lawyer on this site.

Doctors thought it was a tumor from ultrasounds I had until I had my cystoscopy done, and we seen that it was part of the foley balloon. So it was in my bladder for thirteen months.
answered on Feb 2, 2023
I'm very sorry to hear the ordeal you have experienced. The foley balloon, once left in your body after completion of the c-section and any further medical care, became what is known as a "retained foreign object". This should never have happened. A medical malpractice claim may be warranted.
