Your current state is Virginia
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 »
It could depend on the provisions of the insurance policy. Your post remains open for two weeks. There's no point losing further time if you need medical attention; ask the carrier to arrange for another primary physician. Good luck

Recently I had a very botched surgery.
I asked for it to be fixed and they said they will refund me the money if I sign saying I won’t give the company a bad review ect. They have informed me that I have 7 days to sign or no refund.
Should I sign?
I have a very botched... Read more »
I'm sorry for the botched surgery. Maybe the most fundamental thing that a U.S. attorney could tell you is to consult with an Australian attorney before signing anything. It's likely that Australian law follows general principles similar to U.S. law for the basic premise of medical malpractice. But... Read more »
As a general doctrine, a doctor unjustifiably abandoning a patient with whom a doctor-patient relationship exists could possibly constitute malpractice. But you must consult with a North Carolina attorney because state law-specific provisions could apply; your post remains open for two weeks. Also... Read more »
I called an ambulance because I couldn't move and was sick and was refused a ride to the hospital and was told I am a waste of space and don't deserve a bed. Ten minutes later I pulled the courage to call again and I told them I was sick and now also having suicidal thoughts.
I'm sorry for your ordeal. There wasn't a question here, but if you are wondering about your rights, the best option might be to contact a Nevada attorney to discuss the matter in further detail. This could be a fact-intensive matter, where an attorney may want to review any reports that were made.... 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.

A lot of time has elapsed here. Your question remains open for a week, but doesn't have a unviersal answer. You're going to have to consult with a Georgia med mal attorney as to the state-specific operation of the statute of limitations in med mal cases. I can't speak for the law in Georgia, but as...

For example, when a person claims they were present when a crime took place, would they have to prove this in anyway or is any person who claims to know something about a case accepted?
This is typically proven in court on direct and/or cross examination. This is the importance of good legal counsel. If you haven’t already, it is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case and provide you with tailored representation.
We are glad to... 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 »
Any possibility of a case due to the xray techs negligence
I hope your infant is okay. It's possible there could be grounds for a case, but that would depend on what a medical examination shows. Thankfully, the injuries here appear to be minor in nature; I hope that's the extent of it. These cases can be difficult because unlike older claimants, infants... Read more »
My son has been in two hospitals for a total of three months. He is handicapped mentally and delayed. The doctors still can not diagnosis the reasons for his fever spikes. He has gone on a downward medical path. He acquired a collapsed lung, 3 pneumonia, bed sores and with all the testing the... Read more »
You need to call around and attorney cannot call you as that is called solicitation. That being said the best part of the case is probably the bed sores or non/mis diagnosis. Bed sores should never occur in a patient that cannot move themselves. Generally bed sores occur because of the following... Read more »

To answer your question, a Texas med mal attorney would probably want to review your medical history and surgical records with a medical professional knowledgeable in orthopedic surgery. I would anticipate that the defense would present evidence to a jury that went to the element of the... Read more »
Been back numerous times still not right. I believe because of two technicians actions it was done deliberately. Can I sue for discrimination and the fact that I have to live with this malfunctioning mouth?
You can not, according to what you have indicated, for discrimination. Perhaps you could sue for negligence or, if what you say is correct, intentional tort.

You say that your son is now an adult so your son will need to be the person that seeks additional medical advice or who contacts an Attorney if he feels that there was medical malpractice. You should talk to your son and encourage him to seek medical advice from another heart surgeon.... Read more »
No, not on its face, as a general matter. Your question remains open for two weeks and you could consult with a North Carolina attorney for any state-specific health care law that would apply. It could be, but each case can be fact-specific. When a hospital medical staff makes the determination to... 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 »

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 »

I believe I may have answered this question previously because the facility name seems familiar. My response was that although you suffered a painful and aggravating ordeal post-op, you mention that the surgery went well. Med mal cases are generally based on a breach of duty. As a practical matter,... Read more »
