Maybe-Maybe not...

In order to find out whether or not your surgeon failed to follow the proper standard of care (regardless of whether the result your are experiencing is normal or abnormal) you need to obtain all your medical records from the time before the surgery, all surgery notes, and all follow up notes along with all nurses notes etc... that is your complete and full medical records and charts. Once you have all that, then contact my office and we will have an expert review the records-if the standard of care was not followed, then you have a case we can pursue. If the standard of care was followed and things still went wrong, then you do not have a case we can follow.

Figuring out whether or not medical malpractice has occurred, requires an expert opinion without which any complaint filed in court will simply be dismissed.

I hope this helps-

Hello:

I agree to some extent with what the other attorney stated, but believe that he did not address a couple of areas. One being whether there was informed consent since you stated that you were not told about the possibility of the hole.

The other area that he did not mention and that is very important is that there is a statute of limitations that bars a cause of action if not filed within two years. Based on the information posted. that would have been in April of 2011 or possibly 2 years from whenever it was that you had the follow-up and were advised of the hole. There are exceptions to the two year rule that are somewhat case specific. I suggest that you immediately contact a medical malpractice attorney! Do delay in doing so. Good luck.
