Before going after the doctor, make sure you are OK. The stress of doing that never helps when when the medical problem is serious. Do you have a good support team at home? I don't blame you for wanting to go after the doctor. I would feel the same way.
Getting an attorney can be daunting. Do you have friends in the family who could recommend one? I would ask neighbors and or friends, even before a lawyer referral agency. I am so sorry that happened to you. I will be here to listen anytime. ginnie
