Nikki,

I absolutely agree with Jo that you should file a formal complaint with the State medical licensing board (or whatever equivalent they have in South Carolina). Have your Mom get help from a legal aid group, or some consumer advocacy group if needed. Some hospitals do not take complaints as seriously as a State agency. Not always, but some will tend to defend their staff.

Be sure you are able to write down exactly what happened, and in what order. Do this as soon as possible while it is still fresh in your memory. It is amazing how even a short period of time will cause us to forget details.

You can do your part to keep this type of treatment from happening to others.

Good luck

Mike

Thanks guys

Yes, I am going to complain asap. It might take a few days bc of school work right now but I WILL get to it. Yeah, my mom wants to stick my crutch right up his . If a lawyer is necessary for whatever reason, my wonderful step aunt is a REALLY good lawyer and she said she would help out her niece whenever needed (prolly for free). Ill call first and see how it goes from there.

Thanks. hugs
