Question:

Help, whats ur opion on medical law suits?

I had surgery on my elbow, 7 months ago, have had bad pain in shoulder since, I was told I have a frozen shoulder, rotator cuff or bicept tendonitis. My elbow is still at a 45 degree angle, pt cant help due to shoulder. Was given MRI last week, Now have been told I have a complete rotator cuff tendon tear, bone edema, and injury to anterior superior glenoid labra. It happened during surgery, I havn't used r arm for 7 months. Elbow was WC, who is responible for elbow, who pays the bill. WC denies shoulder. I really like the Orth Surgeon that did the surgery, and the hospital. I know it wasn't intentional, and I dont want hard fillings. I need surgery on shoulder, Comp wants to settle, but elbow won't straighten until shoulder is taken care of. I have an attn but still don't have any answers. I've never been one to sue or take advantage of anyone. I just want med bills paid, pain to stop, use of arm, and 2 get back 2 work.


Answers:

I like how that one person just assumed "you are so young". If insurance won't pay for it, I'd go to the hospital. Sit with the person in charge and see what your options are. If none of those options work, then seek a lawyer. Too many people sue doctors these days. Unless it's gross negligence, crap happens. I don't see how a doctor could screw up your shoulder that much if he was working on your elbow. Maybe it is a result of the surgery, but that doesn't mean he did it. My hip hurts after knee surgery but that's what happens with knee surgery. It's the risk you take by having surgery. No one can expect to injure themselves and be 100% back to normal after surgery.
