It’s not because of contracting Covid but because they didn’t do enough to care for a high risk patient and then patient lost organs, health, career, etc.

This is a tough one, since I don't know who your lawyer is and if he/she is honorable. That being said, if you were on Medicare or Medicaid, especially Medicaid, it can take up to several months to determine the Medicaid lien. If the delay is about unpaid medical bills then 7 weeks is too long... View More

There would be no case related to the chemo. I strongly suspect the possibility of a stroke is a known side effect (as it is with most chemo drugs). However, what type of cancer was your wife diagnosed with? Maybe caused by baby powder? Asbestos? Round Up? ... Just a thought...
