What is your advise on what this Risk

ask or I shall answer (for example)

I did a written and Website complaint

meeting per Patient Advocate.

Re: Health Hospital Physician Care

Voice your complaint, but don't sign anything and don't agree to anything. If they made an error and you or someone else was seriously injured, you should have your case evaluated by an attorney.

If they ask you to sign a waiver or a release of any kind, tell them you need to take it to your lawyer and leave.
