ReneBean 3 Posted October 14, 2005 Girls, Girls... I am sure that Fee was just frustrated. We all have our bad days. And I would imagine that she has come back and read the posts - she just hasn't replied. Or, maybe she really did feel unloved and leave. That would be sad.

kathlnc 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Okay, here's my two cents' worth, and I am not a doctor and not an attorney. But I am a legal nurse consultant, so I've had some dealings with medical malpractice. You can pretty much sue anybody for anything. You may lose the lawsuit, but you can sue, if it floats your boat. The difference between a "good" lawsuit and a "bad" lawsuit is the amount of damages. What were your damages? If the hole in your stomach heals and doesn't leave a massive scar, then you have minimal damages. If your insurance company pays all the charges associated with the injury, then you have no monetary damages. Pain and suffering are damages, but only to the extent they are excessive.....beyond what a person would normally experience in a surgical and post-op situation. We don't know the answer to any of the questions. You need to call some personal injury attorneys and ask if they takes cases on a contingency basis. If so, they will front all the expenses of the lawsuit, and you will pay them out of any money awarded. In my humble opinion, it doesn't sound like a big case to me, but I could be wrong. The only person who can decide that is you, and you are the one who needs to be doing the legwork. Good luck! Kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
