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 »

After getting impatient I was fired as a patient not given my trial pair and told never to darken the door again they are not right it has changed my facial features and I have a lisp where I'm not...

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 »
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... 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 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 »
Back in June, a student threatened me and overturned my desk. Administration put great pressure on me to pass the student. Now I have been on medical leave since school year started in Aug for neck. Had neck surgery 11/8/2019.
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.
THE MEDICAL... Read more »
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.
