I lost contact with my brother ten years ago and searched for him ever since. I am just now learning he suffered a stroke and lost his memory. The County placed him in a Board & Care and established conservatorship but failed to take reasonable steps to notify me. They denied my right to step... Read more »
more info needed.
i would google attorneys who litigate against governmental entities or something like that.
Hello I see a psychiatrist and I went to get a refill on my prescription and to find out I have no refill on my one prescription because my doctor needs approval when it should have already been approved so I couldn’t get it so I called the office to find out he doesn’t work their anymore by...

In the absence of an injury, there is no basis for a medical malpractice claim. Inconvenience for having to wait for a prescription is not an injury.
we had a failed IVF cycle at a clinic that was a terrible experience from start to finish. Since then, another doctor told me that the treatment (starting stimulation on day 21, retrieval on day 7/8) "makes no sense", and others have seconded this. I've asked the clinic why this was done this way... Read more »
In the absence of injury, you cannot maintain a medical malpractice case. There must be an act of negligence that is causally related to an identified injury. If this failed cycle of IVF reduced your chances of success with subsequent cycles or attempts, then maybe you have a basis for a lawsuit.... Read more »
We both keep missing work and they just apologize and say they'll reschedule. As if its no big deal and we have no bills.
There was not a question here, but if you are wondering whether you have the basis for a medical malpractice claim, it does not seem likely. It's possible the office might not be attentive to scheduling things in the best possible manner. But med mal cases are generally based on a failure of a... Read more »
It has been twice they canceled because They keep missing information till the last minute. We keep missing work and they just say sorry we'll reschedule.
There wasn't a question included in your post, but if you're wondering whether the doctor's conduct would be considered medical malpractice, the short answer is, "very unlikely." It might be inconvenient, or it might evidence poor scheduling. But unless the cancellations and delays led to a... Read more »
My wife's birth was more complicated than her pregnancy. She was supposed to have a better birth, but it ended up being 3 and a half hours long of tremendous pushing. Despite the epidural, she still had a lot of pain. Then our baby was born with all these crazy things, like seizures, swelling in... Read more »
you need to consult with a med mal lawyer and NOT post on an open forum like this.
you will need doctors that would testify there was malpractice...rather than a bad result or just difficult pregnancy.
My son was see in the ER for an infection on his right foot it was Swollen and painful the doctor cut his foot open and drained it but was not probably drained and the infection had gotten worse his pain was so out of control that we mad several visit to the same ER For the same reason I then... Read more »
If your son has a case, it would be for malpractice. Getting an MRSA infection is not, by itself, evidence of malpractice. You should contact a medical malpractice attorney to discuss the issue. Your son's medical records will need to be obtained from every ER where he was seen, as well as the... Read more »
Establish parentage behind my back. My son who is four already has a legal father who signed a vdop that is filed with DVDs at the time of birth and he had an active case prior to this to establish 50/50 custody with me. Fast forward....my son's possible biological parent then staged a DV and got... Read more »
I would guess there is much to this story that has not been told. You are right, you do have conflicting orders, and technically yours is last in time. However, since you knew of the biological father he should have been noticed of your action and it should have been disclosed to the court that... Read more »

I am making no progress, in tremendous pain do to... Read more »
Medical Malpractice is not WC, so you need a different forum. Probably not malpractice for failure to say why you are in pain. As for workers comp, you can always file a claim. For psyche cases you must meet the 50% threshold. In your case you have waited 6 months to file, and this case you have... Read more »
Then they die. by not doing a surgery and fixing leak .can that prove doctor negligence for wrongful death
It could be an issue presented to a jury to decide, but it is not unequivocal proof on its face. An attorney (unless they had a medical background, and probably had more information to review) would not be able to make this determination. If you are contemplating legal action, you should consult... Read more »
place when he went home and went to another doctor they saw on the disc the tear from the doctor that place the stent. Would that be medical neglience or malpractice. He had emergency open heart surgery after several complications
It's possible it could be. You could arrange a consultation with a med mal attorney in California. Many offer free initial consults. If the law firm felt that there could be the basis for a case, they would request your medical history and surgery records and review them with a medical... Read more »
I asked a surgeon to inject dermal filler into my lips. He proceeded to do eight rapid stabs in the area around my lips. Nothing was injected, nothing as viscous as filler could have been injected through a small gauge needle that fast. Its just not how dermal fillers are injected. After he walked... Read more »
MORE INFO NEEDED.
HOW WAS IT BEING BILLED?
EITHER WAY ARGUABLY FRAUD OR INSURANCE FRAUD, AND HE CAN BE PROSECUTED CRIMINALLY.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT A LAWYER WOULD PROBABLY NOT HANDLE THIS ON A CONTINGENCY AND THUS YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH A RETAINER.

Specifically "I am a therapist" not "I am a psychologist".
First thing, if you are not an MD do not hold yourself out to being one, directly or indirectly. For instance "psychiatrist" suggests a medical license. There are a number of paramedical professionals with degrees . You do not want to be confused for claiming a degree or license that you do not... Read more »
Don't know if the tear was a result of the stent placement.
I'm not sure that there is a question. You have this posted in medical malpractice, until you have a second medical opinion, you aren't going to have any basis to know whether there was any malpractice at all. Doctors cannot guarantee perfect outcomes or perfect performance, but they do have to... Read more »
Forgive me, but your question makes no sense to me. You need to provide a lot more details about what happened to you.
This injury is work related and it happened February 26 2017.I was injured at work and already settled with workers compensation this year. I've seen 3 physical therapist none came to this conclusion to check for a nerve damage test what do i do?
Immediately go back to your workers compensation attorney that you had for your prior claim. Tell them about the new diagnosis.
You are going to be limited to recovering through that process from your employer, so your only possible remedy will come from reopening your claim, it that is... Read more »
ANSWER: Depends. The body might not even be in the coroner’s custody within 24 hours of death.
For an infant, autopsies are supposed to be completed in 24 hours. Government Code § 27491.41.
For all deaths, if the coroner is informed that a a certificate of religious belief was... Read more »
So I had a bowel obstruction in my last month of pregnancy. This happened a year ago. I went to the emergency room multiple times and saw multiple different doctors who all thought I was lieing about not going to the bathroom for 3 weeks. I told them I cant go on my own but every time it was... Read more »
I'm sorry for your ordeal. It's likely that a California medical malpractice attorney would want to retrieve and review your medical records in detail. Since many offer free initial consultations, you could contact a law office to discuss the matter further. You would need to discuss payment... Read more »
