Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

medical malpractice or just gross??

OK, I has a cyst drained from the back of my leg in 2005. It was deep ( the size of a pinky finger, as wide and deep ) The hospital had homecare nurses come to my house to dress and pack the wound (ribbon packing). I was told it healed OK. I was infected mid 2006, and I had a CT scan to see if there was a fistula into my bones. No fistula and everything checked out OK. BUT..... Last night I felt something hard where the scar is, and ending up pulling out about 6 inches of packing! it was black and fossilized and smelled bad. I'm seeing my GP in the morning to see if I'm incubating anything else in there. Should I contact a lawyer and sue the nursing company? or forget about it?

4. If there was dressing left in the cyst wound, that can and will be considered negligence causing bodily harm. You should contact the business first, and a lawyer immediately afterwards. There is a probability of infection because of this malpractice, and should be treated as a legal issue of significant concern. Dr. James Jeah MD
5. That sounds like malpractice to me.
6. helz yea that terrible!
7. omg, get ahold of a lawyer! the doctors should have seen that in there!! sue the crap out of them, you could have gotten really ill from an infection in your body due to a foreign object!
8. yes, you need a lawyer. Thank goodness you are aware of your health issues, otherwise it could have become septic and caused a major infection. As it is, you probably have lost tissue due to that twits incompetence. good luck !
