I am so sorry for your terrible ordeal. It appears as though you may have a medical malpractice case. Some important facts needed to evaluate whether your case is viable is the date the medical malpractice occurred, i.e., when they left the gauze in. The law limits the amount of time you have to file a medical malpractice claim and this is critical.
