Please provide me with more context or details about the situation related to dental medical malpractice that you're inquiring about.
I had to persistently call and go up to the office for nearly 2 months in order to get the results of an echo done of my heart in January. When I finally insisted I was not getting off the phone until I talked with the nurse, she told me there were "no clinical findings", "everything... View More

See a doctor immediately.
If the failures of the health care providers were below the medical standard of care, and the delay caused by this caused or contributed to increased harm, there may be a case.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Reach out to attorneys and try to arrange a free initial consult. Law firms that handle such cases generally work on a contingency basis. Good luck
I went to have my mirena iud removed @ the 5 year mark. The nurse practitioner could not find the strings, she used something she called a hook & other tools to find the them.

Yes, likely. You definitely have injuries and damages and it appears medical negligence caused it.
Saw finally in 2021 portal I had 2 lab tests flagged to point I had hypothyroidism in 2016! He never discussed or diagnosed me with it! It wasn't until 2018 when I had thyroid storm and another doctor had to diagnose me with hypothyroidism.

It really depends on the circumstances. If the doctor diagnosed and the did not advise, then it would depend on whether there was a follow-up where the doctor could inform the patient of the diagnosis.

Likely you may have a claim. If you want you may call me to discuss. Understand that the cause is not a slam dunk--many things may cause an embolism. It's not a "fingerprint" occurrence, so rare that it almost proves itself.

I'm very sorry for your ordeal. This is something that a Mississippi attorney is best qualified to advise on, but your post remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, an attorney is not qualified to make the determination of whether metronidazole was the cause here; that is something... View More

You posted this in medical malpractice, but the issue could be more one of privacy and image rights. More than medical practice practitioners, the copyright attorneys on this site would be more familiar with image-related rights. Good luck

It's possible you could, but there are very few facts to go on here. If you contacted a Mississippi med mal attorney, they would likely want to know what the medication was, the dosage administered, what it was prescribed for, your reaction to the medication, your medical history, among many...

I received an antibiotic shot and I have been experiencing soreness, stiffness in that area along with numbness in my leg. Could a nerve have been punctured?
answered on Jul 31, 2019
If you consulted with a Mississippi med mal attorney, they would need additional information to form any kind of legal opinion. Attorneys generally review a claimant's file with the guidance of a doctor or other medical professional. Good luck
answered on Jul 27, 2019
There wasn't a question, but if you're asking whether you have the grounds for a case, a Mississippi med mal attorney would likely ask for additional information or records. They would need further details. Good luck

Whether or not you have a case depends on several factors. Regardless, feel free to reach out to any attorney on this forum by clicking the... View More
I have medical conditions that require continued care. Physician states he will be available for urgent care for no more than 30 days. 3 scheduled appointments for these conditions have been cancelled. Including one for blood work.

Your best bet would be to contact an attorney experienced in medical malpractice to discuss your case. Like any relationship, the one between a doctor and their patient may be terminated by either party. The issue in your case is whether there is a continuing duty on the part of the physician to...

You can likely do a general statutory search online; however, in response to your main question, generally, it is unlawful for a person to be in possession or to be using prescription medication not prescribed to them.

Depends what happened, how, and what the result is.
Contact a member of the Miss. Assn for Justice that handles medical cases--they give free consultations.
