Expert Advice When You Need It Most
I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and was told my left ovary was removed. I had complained to my doctor after the surgery of left lower pelvic pain she told me it was constipation. I continued to have problems of high white counts and have been to the emergency room twice and hospitalized once and found out I still have muy left ovary. How should I handle this?

I'm not sure whether you have a case worth pursuing (more information is needed, such as what your injuries are and how the surgery error caused these injuries), but you should talk to an attorney right away to find out. There are deadlines for filing medical malpractice cases in Illinois, and if you miss the deadline you won't get a second chance. Generally speaking, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. However it might be longer if you didn't discover the injury until later. An experienced medical malpractice attorney will help you sort this out.
