What is your question.
Had spine operation .. Discharge info. given for rehab. was wrong. Patient portal info was never updated to show important information. No post ortho rehab. was setup for weeks, i had to push issue. I don't feel i healed properly considering their incompetence of post-op care. I'm genuinely... Read more »
A Georgia attorney could answer your question best, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for the frustration you endured following surgery. However, an attorney would likely need more information to make a meaningful assessment. The nature of the discharge information or patient... Read more »
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 »
If any of my kids were c section babies I told her yes all 3 she laughed at me and made the comment that I cheated.
There wasn't a question here, but you posted in the Medical Malpractice category and the post remains open for two weeks. If you were wondering if the nurse's conduct creates the basis for a lawsuit, it's difficult to see it. You could check with a Georgia attorney whether they view the matter... Read more »
The baby is a premature and he let the child leave with her caretaker in an area where it was too far to have a direct assistance of medical treatment. Can I file a case against the father being as a aunt of the child?
You have no standing. Second, there are no damages as the child was not harmed
I am disabled, very ill and trying to get my medical records from multiple physician specialty practices. Due to the complexity of healthcare expansions and electronic medical records that has taken place over the decades, it is now 4 months, over 100 phone calls, many signed releases and I’ve...

An attorney who handles health care matters should be able to help you. Good luck

Emergency room ran no test ..another Dr.said i have fracture skull n bleeding on the brain...
You'd get the best input from a Tennessee attorney, but your question remains open for two weeks. From the description, it's difficult to tell exactly what happened. At any rate, it's unlikely that an emergency room ran no test(s). You could arrange a consultation with a Tennessee attorney who... Read more »
I've been asking or this for years.
Indiana Code sections 16-36-1.7-0.5 to 16-36-1.7-5 deal with Psychiatric Advance Directives, including requirements to execute a directive as set forth in Indiana Code section 16-36-1.7-2. You can view these and other Indiana Code sections online using this website:... Read more »
Without being evicted is what I meant to say
You would get the most meaningful input here from an Indiana attorney who knows landlord-tenant law. But your question remains open for four weeks and you include Environmental/Health Care as categories. If your apprehension about disturbing your landlord is based on a fear of creating expense, you... Read more »
Staff notified of pain and inability to walk, provided some comfort care and proceeded with discharge, giving 5 pain pills. Could not walk when leaving. Saw chiropractor next day who put hip back in place. Is this action by the hospital within the normal standards of care?
I'm sorry for your ordeal and that your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, consult with an Ohio med mal attorney. They could request the records and investigate the matter in further detail. They generally work on a contingency basis and most provide free initial consults. Good... Read more »
Insurance practices are governed by state regulations, so a Pennsylvania attorney would be most familiar with applicable laws. But your question remains open for two weeks. As a general practice virtually nationwide, policyholders are provided with the information you describe. Just ask your... Read more »
I am joint owner of a house in Indiana via a quit claim deed that states "joint tenants with rights of survivorship". The other joint owner who is my grandma is now in a nursing home and has severe dementia. My aunt took power of attorney over her healthcare and has filed a lawsuit against me in my... Read more »
If the deed is to you and your grandmother as joint tenants with right to survivorship, you own half of the property (the house and lot) and your grandmother owns half of the property. That's called an undivided interest because each of you has equal rights to the entire property. Indiana law... Read more »
I'm physically disabled from brain cancer. I require a wheelchair, receive SSI/Medicaid and have a registered in-home caretaker from the state of Michigan. I would like to go on a cruise, but it would be necessary that my caretaker come along with me. Can I pay for their ticket and have it count... Read more »
The $10,000 inheritance is disqualifying income in the month of receipt. There is not much you can do about that. If you still have that money on hand on the first day of the following month, sitting in a regular ol' checking account, for example, it will be a countable asset and that will again... Read more »
We are a doctors office and want to do education videos to display on TV in lobby. We have one doctor that says they will sue. It will be a caricature of the providers speaking and giving short statements. How did creators of South Park and Lil Bush do this?
This might be something that an attorney who works with intellectual property matters would know best; it seems more closely related to that area than Health Care Law as a category. Good luck

His medical power of attorney. Is it too late to get him to sign a will in hospice? I just want to use his money to pay for his cremation if he even has enough.
Legal capacity to sign a Will is not determined by whether or not one is in hospice. You might want to contact a local elder lawyer: we make house calls. If so, use the Find a Lawyer function on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (eee.naela.org)
I live with my elderly mother who has dementia in her home. She is getting to the point where I can't care for her (no one has power of attorney) and I was wondering if I contact Adult Protective Services, would they help me get her help because she wont let me help her. And also someone told me... Read more »
Not in Texas. You may want to help your mother enter a memory care or a skilled nursing facility, though if she is being neglected because you cannot care for her at home anymore (when would you sleep?), Adult Protective Services may step in. If she has a medical necessity for nursing home care,... Read more »
and how can a doctor get a death certificate and he did not sign for it. also, the doctor does not want to meet with me or talk to me and my mother was mentally ill so I feel she was not in her right mind.
'Sorry that your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, it might make more sense to contact someone directly, either a Texas attorney who deals with life insurance claims litigation, or a knowledgeable licensed insurance professional in Texas who underwrites life insurance policies....

Do I need to do conservitership, at what time and for what reason since we are her natural parents?
You do not need a conservatorship until the child turns 18. The conservatorship then will allow you to still continue to make all of their decisions for them as you care for them. The process takes 3 or 4 months so start early. Many places can provide you with help at that time; here in San... Read more »
The zone they got her in school let out an hour after the time on her ticket.
The Daughter might hire an attorney, or might represent herself. She needs to be very polite, and try to explain what happened to the Prosecutor or Judge. But it is very likely she will be found guilty, and the Appeal is De Novo to Circuit, that is not cheap or easy. The Officer will certainly... Read more »
My grandmother has been diagnosed with dementia. For the last 6 months she has been refusing to take her medication, which then brings out the very worst in her. Paranoia takes over she picks at her skin to remove probes that control her. It's now to the point where her legs are swollen, inflamed... Read more »
If you believe she is incapable of making decisions for herself you can use the health care proxy. If the medical facility refuses to recognize it or believe she is still competent to make these decisions you will need to have the courts intervene. Generally, it is done by seeking Guardianship of... Read more »
