Long story but do I have a chance of filing a malpractice suit against my former doctor?
I got bit by something, it turned out to be a tick bite. It gave me a swollen lymph node. She just ordered a regular CBC which came back normal but does NOT detect Lyme disease.
This was in THE FIRST OF JAN 08. Now it’s the middle of May and I finally switched docs and they tested me for Lyme Disease which came back positive. It’s been almost 6 months and I am have serious neurological problems. My former doc missed the boat. This whole thing could have been prevented in Feb. Now, I’m having SERIOUS complications from this except Bells Palsy (sp).
I have spent so much money on meds, doctors appts, blood tests, and surgery to get my lymph node removed. I want to be compensated. I have since had HORRIBLE panic attacks, lost weight from the stress, and have been through EXTREME EMOTIONAL DISRESS.
What would you do? Should I call her and ask her for compensation or sue her? She could have stopped this before I had neurological problems, and trust me it is painful and annoying. Help!
