Answers:
If the doctor tried to harm you or kill you it is referred to as a "misunderstanding"!. File a law suit!. Unfortunately doctors are too busy pushing drugs to worry about the health of the patient!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You probably signed a release that stated that this was a possible adverse outcome!.

Hopefully it will all straighten itself out soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why would you sew the doctor that tried to help you!?!?

He isonly humean, are you not too!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would think so!.You need to talk to an attorney there is always one ready to sue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you were not to sit up for at least 3 hours, why did you LET THEM SEND YOU HOME AFTER 1 HOUR!?!?!? WHERE WAS YOUR FAMILY!?!?!? Patients and Families have to accept some responsibility for their own care!! When you go into a hospital for a procedure such as this, you must have a family member with you; they won't allow you to drive yourself home after a spinal tap; therefore-- your family was JUST as negligent as the ER for ALLOWING them to send you home before the time you were required to stay flat after the procedure!! Any good attorney should point that out to you guys, but I'm sure there's some out there willing to take your money and waste some of your time!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
