Time of the surgery, he sent us home saying he had to be 3 or inpatient to perform this surgery. Is this negligence?

The doctor didn't do anything other than give you a choice. No malpractice here. Clumsy patient handlng but not more than that.

Look for a member of the Ohio Assn for Justice--they give free consults. She may have a statute of limitations case. A lot depends on who tells her what, when.

Generally no--HIPAA doesn't have any sanctions. However the other care issues may be actionable--but hard to prove.
Contact a member of the Ohio Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
After it was to late to do anything about. Is there grounds for a malpractice suit?

If he died six years ago, no. There are statutes of limitations for wrongful death & malpractice, and they expiered long ago. For your peace of mind consult an attorney who gives free consults, but I don't see a liklihood of success.

You should take your information to the police and prosecutor. Sex crimes are treated very seriously, but the medical board can only take his license.

You need to know what is causing the problems in order for someone to say it's from the delivery; then the question is was what happened in the delivery due to an act of malpractice--in other words it's not enough just to have a bad result, and here I'm not hearing anyone knows if... View More

It is hard to understand what you are asking here. The facts you have given are a bit jumbled and confusing. You had testical cancer and had it removed. Then you developed an infection, but got no treatment for that? There was a rude nurse. Then you went to another doctor and learned that you now... View More

Cooperate with the hospital and police. I do not see this as a viable medical malpractice claim. The cost of the litigation would outstrip any potential recovery. Of course, you can contact a medical malpractice lawyer in your area for a free consultation.
I see ads about settlements all the time on tv and i filed an adverse effect report when it happened. i almost died

Your best bet is probably to join a suit rather than filing your own individual suit. Many personal injury lawyers gather up large numbers of people injured by the same product and file a single large law suit called a class action lawsuit. In some cases, these lawsuits have already been settled... View More

You can always look for and hire a new attorney. You do not have a right to an attorney in a medical malpractice case in the sense that you have a right to an attorney in a criminal case, that is at government expense. The court will likely give you some time to find new counsel if you simply... View More
