Should I sue for malpractise or not?
Last October I had stools that were bloody and diarrhea. I went to see a gastroenterologist who preformed a colonoscopy. He diagnosed me with ulcerative colitis gave me a prescription and a diet I was to follow, I had to follow-up with him in 1 month. My follow-up appointment was in December and I took my husband with me. I couldn't swallow and was choking on the medicine plus I told him I was now just bleeding like a menstrual cycle but in the anus. He yelled at me because I stopped taking the meds and sent me on my merry way. I had not been able to eat anything for almost a week but he didn't seem to care. A couple days later I had my first appointment with my rheumatologist, she took 1 look at me and said do you want to go to the hospital now or tomorrow morning, I chose the later. I was admitted to the hospital and given an IV and some meds. My gastro Dr came and gave me an endoscopy but yelled at me why I had not told him this was going on, the endoscopy came back I had severe stomatitis(thrush). I was put on a feeding tube but I was still bleeding internally. My gastro Dr did not come back till 2 days later he walked into my room asked how I felt than left. Later a nurse told me he all he talked about was his wife was leaving him, he didn't order any tests or meds and only glanced at my chart. That was the last time I saw him and I was there for a week. I was given 4 pints of blood and plasma. My PCP and rheumatologist had to ask another t to take a look at me. We never did discover why I was bleedinginternallyy. I have not seen my gastro Dr since, I feel if I had not went to my rheumatologist appointment I would not be here today. So should I sue him or not? As I have a medical background I know from other patient experience that when you sue a Dr other Dr's are sometimes scared to take you on as a patient.
7 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoCan someone tell me what my dog might of had?
I bought my dog at a pet store not realizing that a lot of them support puppy mills. My dog a teacup chihuahua(2 pounds) always looked emaciated, you could feel his ribs and spine even though he ate a lot. He was tested for the heart worms and all other normal tests everything came back good. We never knew what was wrong why he didn't gian any weight we even had him neutered hoping that would help but it didn't. Two weeks ago e started having blood in his stool and couldn't keep water down. He was still able to walk around and jump up on the couch but as he was so little I worried about dehydration. I took him to our vet even though I had no money they saw him. They told me the gave him an injection to stop the diarrhea and vomiting plus fluids.They were concerned about his temperature as it was low. They had me take him home with some medicine and nutrical and instructions to keep him warm. When I got him back he couldn't hold his head up he was like a limp doll later that evening he had seizures and 1 was real bad he was barely breathing. We rushed him to an ER vet who told me that he had a low heartbeat aw well as breathing, they could preform CPR on him but only gave him a 10% chance to live. I made the decision to have him put down. He was only 3 years old and my companion, I miss him a lot but have questions on what could have made him so sick so fast. We have a fenced in backyard and I always went out with him so I know he wasn't poisoned. If anyone has any idea can you let me know. Please do not respond if you just want to harp on me because he was a puppy mill puppy. All animals need love just like people and it shouldn't be held against them.
8 AnswersDogs1 decade agoQuestion about flying with my pet (dog).?
I am planning on going home to PA to visit my family this summer and I want to take my dog with me. I know i have to pay for him and keep him in a crate. I plan on making him my carry on, since he is only 2 pounds and shakes when nervous. I read somwhere that if the temp gets up to 85 anywhere my plane goes they won't let him on is that correct, even though he will be with me in the cabin.? I don't want to leave him home with my husband for 2 weeks because just before Xmas I was in the hospital for 1 week and my husband told me he wouldn't eat or drink. When I got home he became my shadow and still is to this day. With him only weighing 2 pounds he can't afford to miss 2 weeks of food. He is a teacup chihuahuia and any help would be appreciative since this will be my first time home in 2 years.
6 AnswersDogs1 decade agoArmy National Guard & failed drug test.?
My son who just turned 18 was planning on joining the Army National Guard, till he went to a friend's grad party and got in a car where they were smoking marijuana. He failed his drug test and was told he had to wait 45 days before going back to MEPS to do the test again. This was all in Pennsylvania where I let him stay to graduate with friends while I moved to Texas. I had already bought him his plane ticket to Texas so I could see him the ticket I bought was his 45 th day. I told him we would transfer it all down here to Texas. Texas recruiter is now saying he can't join because he failed the test. I am totally confused why 1 state say ok while another says no. He made a mistake by crawling in that car but we all make mistakes if we didn't we would be robots. My son does not use drugs he was just had a stupid moment. Can anyone help me/my son and tell us what we can do?
