From the brief facts at hand and the words "not successful," the extent of your damages is not clear.

second dr. said first operation was not right
answered on Nov 28, 2019
A Minnesota attorney could answer you best, but your question remains open for a week. The need for a second operation in and of itself is not necessarily irrefutable proof of medical malpractice. The reason why a second surgery was needed would need to be determined. You mention the second... View More

It's possible you could, but keep in mind that the assertion of the ER staff that the primary care physician should have caught it is not irrefutable evidence that creates an airtight case. It also appears that there is considerable passage of time, which is something that attorneys defending... View More

Based on the limited details here, it isn't clear why you are still being held subsequent to your urologist lifting your restrictions. It's possible information is missing in terms of their policy, and that your family could need to look further into reasons why you are still being... View More

The case of medical malpractice is about the negligence which includes damages. Most of these cases are enormously expenses to prosecute.

First you would have to show that it was the medicine and nothing else that caused receeding gums, which can come from a number of factors. This is extremely difficult to prove. Either way you need to see an endodontist, so why not let them tell you what they think caused it.

You need to find an attorney that handles those issues. Suggest you contact the Minnesota Civil Liberties union, ask for their "cooperating attorneys" on prison medical conditions. 8th amendmendment? I do not think so.

Although perforation of the colon is a known risk of the colonoscopy if there is not an informed consent you may have a claim.
I recommend having a qualified medical malpractice attorney review your medical records to see if you have a case.
Good luck.

The Defense attorneys get the records usually from a signed authorization which you provide (after an attorney reviews and edits). Sometimes the defense is given records from the facility at issue.
