I had breast cancer and speak from this experience--one of the surgeon's f'ed up REALLY badly. Not only did I have to go through that strange, frightening experience, but then the almighty doc claimed that he really "couldn't see any problem." I won't go into specifics, but it was horrifying and humiliating.
THANK GOD for the pit bull of a lawyer who represented me. The doc was caught in a lie on the witness stand...if I didn't have my day in court and someone to crusade for me, I'd be just another poor schmo up against the Almighty Doctor.
Believe me, malpractice lawyers are sorely needed. Don't get caught up in the knee-jerk belief that they are simply ambulance chasers and people who bring law suits are out for a quick buck.
