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.

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.

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.

My doctor who told me he was operating on me never explained risk/benefits. I went to surgery and ended up in ICU With a retro peritoneal bleed for a week. in recovery, there was a doctor there whom I never met before that told me he operated on me. Is this legal?

Yes it is if they had you sign a waiver that said that the doctor you spoke with might not end up doing the surgery. Contact a member of the Miss. Trial Lawyers Assn for a free consult to be sure.

Not in this case. Not all misdiagnoses are malpractice. More importantly, the couple of days delay didn't create a harm that wasn't there--and so no case (you don't get to sue for what could have happened).;
