Last November I went into preterm labor with my daughter. I went into a hospital because my water had ruptured and the doctor refused to check me and was trying to give me drugs to stop my labor pains but told me i had to sign out against medical advise because I refused the drugs due to a previous allergic reaction to it. I switched hospitals and as soon as I got to the other hospital they checked me and my water was for sure broken...they admitted me and I ended up having a csection 4 weeks later. i am currently going through a seperate malpractice suit...can i still file for the one from last year? is it to late? or bad timing?
