Asked 5 months ago - Miami, FL
FlagI received a hormone as a result of a misdiagnosis as the result of a wrong read mri that resulted in wasting a significant portion of lean body mass because the doctors also forgot to check for current medications which I had taken for the past 8 yrs which results in the body responding like it had received 10x the amount of hormone. (That is 3 mistakes). I can funciton but my "white meat" is gone especially in the upper body and arms and it is hard to work out and I have back pain because of wasting of the core muscles and I can't do any of the athletic activities that I did before because there is no shock absorption in my body and I get winded easily. I spent a lifetime putting on lean body mass, it's not going to recoup in 9 months which is how much time has past. Is this sufficient
It is possible but you should meet with an attorney specializing in this area and go through all details and show the attorney all medical records if you have them. Most attorneys do medical malpractice cases on contingency so it's worth it to you to meet with one or two attorneys to discuss your case.
Medical Malpractice actions are very expensive to prosecute due to strict pre-suit statutory requirements and the need to hire expert witnesses. If the damages do not justify such a lawsuit, then no attorney will handle it. You are saying that you will fully recover in 9 month. Without any additional facts, I believe your damages are not enough. I, however, need more facts and your medical records to better evaluate your case.
