The time limitations may also be an issue. Due to the nature of medical malpractice cases, the extent... View More

In order for a Texas Lawyer to answer the question of whether a client's case has merit and will prevail, depends on the evidence against the offending party. In a case against a healthcare provider, many times a doctor or clinic will deny responsibility and your claim requiring you to file a... View More

Overpump me with inducing meds till I rupture killing baby and I. Leaving broken parts inside causing terrible pain and years of torture and irreparable damage to my health though I have no clue for years later cause I’m no doc…….. how come I can only do something for two years ?????
answered on Sep 8, 2021
The two-year period starts from the day you knew or should have known (if you had looked into your symptoms to see what was wrong) that the doctor had left something inside you, not from the date that the doctor actually left the parts in you. In other words, it is 2 years after you discovered that... View More

I am not a doctor and am not sure what those prescriptions are for, but since you're both married and this is your son, you both are free to make medical choices regarding your son, either jointly or separately.
