Resolved Question: Is this medical malpractice?

I call a doctor for an appointment. I receive an answering machine that promises a call back. I do not receive a call back. I feel that a doctors answering machine is the same as talking to him. I am sick and do not feel iike being lied too. As a result of neglect I died. Can I sue?

Resolved Question: Hospital did not alert me of a abnormality on my Chest CT scan?

Basically, the CT was done to look for any evidence of granulomas in my lungs to confirm or deny an autoimmune disease (sarcoidosis or CSS/WG). They told me everything was normal (this was about 2 years ago). I have been back & forth to multiple doctors, missed work, and continued to live in chronic pain. I picked up a copy of every my CT's on a disk and upon looking at them, my spleen is CLEARLY not right!!! The only way to describe it is "deteriorating". it just looks like it has something nawing away at it... I am not a doctor, but if my spleen has been effected by this disease and for 2 years I have gone with improper treatment because they neglected to inform me (this was a chest CT), is that considered malpractice? I am not a greedy or vendictive person, but this disease diagnosis is based on this info and without a solid confirmation I cannot receive treatment (powerful meds) and it is fatal if not treated properly (look: Bernie Mac; sarcoidosis). I am very mad and very worried, and I have begun seeing doctors at the UCLA medical group better care. I may be jumping the gun, but I would like to know my options if I need to take action. Thanks in advance.

Voting Question: Is it possible to sue the US Military for med malpractice or medical neglect?

I fell durung PT and hurt my right knee (it gave out and I fell to the ground) They took for some xrays, and found out that I had Osteochondritis dissecans. the doc gave me options for surgery, and noted it in my file. They did not give me any surgery to fix the knee. They discharged me saying that the injury was not sevice related or aggravated by service, thus I could not receive the medical treatment that could have helped me. I was Let go in 1985 and tried to seek medical help at the VA and was refused. Before I apply for VA benifits should I talk with a lawyer first???

Resolved Question: What is the best way to prepare for a deposition?

I am scheduled to give my testimony for my child's medical neglect/malpractice lawsuit soon. I am very nervous about it! The event has forever changed my son's life and has left him medically fragile. I don't want to do or say anything that will have a negative impact on his case. I feel like his whole future is in my hands with what I say. Of course, I'll talk nothing but the truth, however, I know that the truth can be twisted by nasty opposing attorneys. Can anybody here, with experience in law or personal experience, give me some advice as to how I can prepare for this very stressful event? I have already been thru one, but we need to basically do it every over again because we've brought more doctors into the lawsuit and their attys. need to be gift. That one was hell for me. I had no snooze the night before and was just a wreck. I'm dreading the next one and am hoping someone here can give me some tips on giving the best testimony possible. Of course, my attorney will be gift. I'm looking for real answers here. Please only answer if you have experience and knowledge in the field of law. Thanks. Thank you for your responses, I appreciate it! Does anyone have any tips about how I can remain calm, chilly and collected? Does anyone know what some usual tricks are by opposing attorneys?

Resolved Question: I am wondering if anyone has any idea if you can sue a vet for medical malpractice or neglect.?

I posteda few minutes ago about my dog's incision and itching. Nowo I am wondering if you can sue for medical malpractice against a vet. I took my chihuahua to a vet 3 weeks ago and informed him about my dog having troubles urinating adn he told me it was because he licked himself and made his private irritated and infected but didnt give any meds for it just meds for mange. Told me that I would have to wait 3 months for mange treatment to be completed and then he would do shots and then worry about urinatign problem. Well exactly 2 weeks later he almost died on me because he had stones so big that they blocked the tip of his uretha tube and one embedded itself into bone at tip of male part. i had to have emergency surgery performed on dog by another vet because first vet told me he was too busy to look at my dog. I almost lost my dog because of it. My dog also basically had have a sex change surgery at same time because stones tore up uretha tube. First of every he did have mange and vet said he wanted to treat for that. And he felt around for problems in lower area and said every he had was an infection. Stones were big enough were you could look the lump in private with just your naked eye. But vet said that was infection and would go away to put baby oil on his private. Second of every, my mom was in room with me when he looked at my dog. He never offered any nice of tests to find out problem. He wanted to wait for about 4-6 months before he treated the urinating problem. My dog was mistreated when I got him and that was how he got mange. But I don't understand how a vet can feel and look and miss stones in a male private part that are big enough to embedd themselves in the bone at tip of private part.Plus stones were big enough to destroy euretha tube so that the dog had to be made into female so he can urinate. I have a witness to vouche that he didnt offer any tests for the urination problem.

Resolved Question: what determines medical malpractice & does this man really have case?

He was in a car accident & suffered a knee injury. He was sent to the ER via the ambulance. When there he told the doctor about the knee injury but the doctor never did any X-rays claiming the guy was too healthy. The doctor said that the knee would be sore but would heel in a few weeks & that the man can return to work the next day. After about 5 weeks the knee was much worse & the man goes to another doctor, this doctor orders test & it is found that the knee is injuried badly enough to require surgery. This new doctor asked why the ER never did Xrays & thinks that the injury would have heel with proper treatment (physical thepary) & if given proper relax (days/weeks off work) The new doctor states that the ER doctor neglected to do his job properly. Now this man thinks he has a medical malpractice case.
