In Sept 2007 I had a lab draw that was the worst pain that I have ever felt. It hurt so bad that I could not cry out, I curled in a ball to my left side and said repeatedly that "you have hit a nerve". She kept asking if I was alright. All I could say was you hit a nerve. She continued the draw until she was finished. She then asked again if I was OK, I said no you hit a nerve. I was rubbing and rubbing my arm. I was so mad that I left real fast. Thought afterwards that I should have walked right over and talked with my doc.

2 days later, pain no better so called lab manager, my doc called me back and said that if it does not get better in 6 months call him back for an appointment. I also called the business office of the clinic to see if an incident report had been filled out or if I needed to fill something out and was told that I ndid not need to.

Well, after time had past I called and got an appointment. Told the scheduler that I did not want to pay for the visit as I was injured in their lab. Oh my, they agreed to it. At the appoimtment my doc asked me if he had told me earlier to get a lawyer. I don't rementer that he did so again he looked at me and said, get a lawyer.

I am waiting now to get scheduled with a neurologist.
Here is my questions:
What should I ask the neurologist
What should I be doing prior to lawyer visit.

Sorry for the long post, first time actually getting this all writen down. Just a little scared by all this.
