What a horrible experience. I am so sorry.
While this may be malpractice, if you are fine now, the harm does not likely warrant a lawsuit.
But, Consult with experienced malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.
I have had multiple tests done in the last year that I feel the positive diagnosis was missed in the biopsy.

Medical malpractice means that a doctor violated the standard of care. A bad outcome is not enough. Another doctor would be needed to evaluate what the doctors did.
Gather your medical records and discuss your case with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

Based on what you describe, it does not seem that there were damages. That's very fortunate and I'm glad your baby was unharmed. You could bring the matter to the attention of the manufacturer because it could be indicative of a possible quality assurance issue in their production... View More
