Anesthesia Error?
On 6/2/04 I underwent surgery with epidural anesthesia used instead of general antesthesia, at my request. The epidural was also used to administer pain medication following surgery. During this time, I regained complete feeling & movement in my left leg, while my right leg became completely immobilized, with a ''pins & needles'' sensation I could not tolerate. I requested the epidural be removed, but following that my pain was not adequately managed. I have filed a grievance with the hospital to find out whether the epidural was improperly administered, but received a response letter that did not even refer to my question regarding this. I am not sure if there was medical malpractice or not; if there was, I experienced an undue amount of pain as a result. Additionally, ater speaking with hospital personnel regarding my complaint, I learned I had not been adequately informed regarding the possible side effects of the epidural. Had I been, I would not have chosen this method of anesthesia. Is there any legal recourse regarding my situation?
