You need to contact a good civil rights attorney immediately. If this has been happening for such a long period of time, you will have to explain why you have not taken this step long ago. It just may be that the statute of limitations, which sets out the time within you must act on your own... Read more »
I saw the doctor that does root canals after and he said it was actually the tooth next to it that was infected and the one she took the crown off doesn’t need a retreat. I prepaid for that new crown and I am going to get it put on Friday and plan to ask for a refund because she made a mistake. I... Read more »
You can sue the dentist for dental malpractice, in small claims, but there are 2 things that you MUST do:
1. You must send a letter (Certified, RRR) to the dentist advising what you intend to do and stating the amount of your demand (don't forget pain and suffering damages) at least... Read more »
I can prove they altered them. The result has been denial for SSDI benefits and a severe deterioration in my quality of life and has endangered my overall health permanently. I don't know what to do to fix this?
It might be a HIPAA complaint, but damages are not available for that under the statute.
It might be Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage, but it's unclear that there would be enough money at stake to justify this type of claim.
Also, I don't know... Read more »
It does not state anywhere in the warning that the birth control could lower my hormone levels greatly after removal. After testing, doctors were convinced that I was infertile and guaranteed me that the birth control could not lower my levels to a point that makes it seem infertile. They said it... Read more »
A California attorney could best advise, but your post remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. What you describe could be more a product liability case than a med mal case. A med mal cause of action would be based more on a breach of a medical duty of care, while a... Read more »
A California attorney should advise here, as your question involves as aspect of procedural law. But your post remains open for four weeks. Until you are able to consult with a California attorney, as a general matter, the location of where the claim arose is almost universally a basis for venue... Read more »
I received a quote for a cosmetic procedure during a consultation and signed a document acknowledging all procedures are non-refundable.
I was scheduled for surgery only 6 days prior to the operation and was hastily asked to pay the full balance ($15,000). I did. After that, I received the... Read more »
This is a terrible situation for you. Nothing is truly "NON REFUNDABLE" The first thing I would do is to send a letter that clearly states you are "RESCINDING" the contract with the surgeon, ASK FOR A RETURN OF YOUR MONEY.
The amount you are owed exceeds the $10,000... Read more »
I received a quote for a cosmetic procedure during a consultation and signed a document acknowledging all procedures are non-refundable.
Approximately 6 months later, I proceeded with scheduling the surgery. I was scheduled for surgery only 6 days prior to the operation and was hastily... Read more »

These types of cases can sometimes be difficult, since it appears that you paid out of pocket for services rendered. It would be easier to evaluate services submitted to insurance companies for reimbursement, where you could look line by line at each procedure and its code. The best you could do is... Read more »
Hello,

You are not required to take any medications you have not first discussed with a physician. Also, if the antidepressants were not prescribed by a treating psychiatrist, I would seriously question why they were prescribed and for what symptoms, and what diagnosis justifies the prescription....

There is no chance at all. This is a public hazard to health and welfare of all people. The state has the duty to comply with the national emergency, and all people residing in the State of California are obligated to comply with the orders which have lawfully been given.

I went to a dentist to fill 9 cavities. I was put under a form of anesthesia using tranquilizers. This is used for people who are afraid of the dentist and its called sedation dentistry. While i was sedated, the dentist preformed a procedure where he drilled a hole in my tooth and inserted a metal... Read more »
Where can you find a lawyer? You can find a California lawyer on this site, or through your own searches. Do you have a case worth fighting? It's difficult to say based only on these facts. Teeth can break during endodontic and other procedures. The fact that a tool fractured/shattered is not... Read more »

This is something that a California attorney would be able to advise best on, but your post remains open for four weeks. This sounds like it will be a complex and difficult case, because it could possibly require a consultation with an independent dentist to assess the work performed on you. As a... Read more »
My Mom went to go get an MRI done & the Technician shoved the earplug in her ear so hard that it ruptured her eardrum causing her to have to go to the ER straight from the MRI place.
Maybe. How do you prove that it was the force of the technician that caused the rupture? Do your mom's medical records reflect this?
Based on the very brief facts, it seems like it could be a difficult case. But if you consulted with a California med mal attorney, they might be able to make a more meaningful assessment with additional information, in terms of how you formulated the element of damages, diligence of the doctor and...

1st ? is How do I get help for my mom that is going for esophagus surgery to remove the cancer. The reasons why I need help in that is I need to make sure that she will be staying in the hospital for her recovering. The reason she need to stay in the hospital or some type of facility is that she... Read more »
I hope everything works out for your mom with her surgery. I think that any facility that handles a surgery of that level would not be looking to rush her discharge. And if they are in a hurry to move her out to an acute care facility shortly after surgery, contact the social workers in the... Read more »

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... 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... Read more »
