Do I've A Malpratice Situation

Postby hyun-su » Wed Mar 05, 2014 4:22 pm

I'd broken my palm 2 months before. Inside The time I noticed the PA. I see. He delivered me out for an x-ray. Afterwards he casted my hand.very freely at that. Because I've had 3 more x-rays and each one of these exhibits within the statement that my hand gets worse. I've transformed primary-care physicians following the next x-ray, but nonetheless begin to see the PA for my palm. Our new doctor stated that he shouldnt have casted it, that he should have directed me to an orthopedic surgeon i should of had hooks place in my palm. she cannt send me to 1 until after 3 months because of insurance reasons. Last go to the PA said the cast was coming off this week. he explained that it must certanly be okay, that I'll have a group where it was broken. He explained the only path would have visited deliver me out when it just happened but most people dont like surgery.I have him documented speaing frankly about the group and that most people dont like surgery -

Do I Have A Malpratice Case

kronic10:I fractured my palm. The physician didnt do what he must have.
You do not understand that.  The heated might inform you that nothing could be any different even when the PA had known you sooner.
kronic10:My new doctor and myself have tried getting me into an ortho. my insurance wont do anything untill my 3 months is up.
That's not the PAis fault.  It's your condition to kind out.
kronic10:icant afford spending of pocket for this.and within the mean-time my hand gets worse.
So that your palm gets worse because you-can't pay NOT because of something a supplier did. That's NOT malpractice.
kronic10:therefore the physicians of the planet may do whatever it's they like trigger the know there's no consequances if they dont
No.  Physicians aren't necessary to address you for free just because your insurance set a 90-day hang on your benefits.  They're running a business just like other people and are permitted to demand for their services. 
kronic10:therefore I guess the lady that died recently from the coronary attack since she found him he did nothing and delivered her home.i guess its her problem to
No.  This within an entirely different scenario and there's a law that addresses this named EMTALA.  The Emergency Treatment and Active Labor Act.  it takes emergency rooms to take care of all individuals with lifethreatening problems aside from their capability to pay.  If somebody had a coronary attack and died simply because they were turned away for financial reasons the household might have a wrongful-death case to pursue.
You are not dying.  You've a personal injury that's being worsened since you can not pay.  That occurs and it is not the problem of the health-related providers.  You've to have cash to obtain attention that's not a lifethreatening emergency.  You also can have delivered to an ER if it was that bad and they may have used an heated at that time.  Inability to do something on your part on proposed treatment makes it your duty not the supplier who never saw you or even the one who requested traditional treatment when you could not shell out of pocket for the suggested care.

Do I Have A Malpratice Case

kronic10:
Ok somewhat confused today. The physician may be the one that sent me for the 3 xrays.I need to be sent to an ortho so as for an ortho will require me. I'd started seeing another physician. And was informed by my new doctor they wasn't in a position to send me to an ortho for 3 months because my insurance wouldn't cover because the doctor who casted it'd to function as the someone to send me.I have previously spoken to my initial who casted it, concerning the situation of my palm. he explained I'd be good!  that I'd simply have a group where in actuality the break is.my last x-ray was completed at that visit. I'd to contact them twice to obtain these results.now im awaiting my next appt. He explained i would get my cast-off. I've him documented showing me this and wondering about my palm. Why have you been attempting to get this to my problem?? I've been looking to get it taken care of.i mean actually??


Since youare alone accountable for oneself preservation.
In the event that you continue steadily to take this case due to insurance then it will become your fault.
Contact an orthopedic consultant and request a scheduled appointment. Contact them all until someone provides you with a scheduled appointment with no referral. Pay cash when you yourself have to.
Or visit the crisis room.
Let this choose another 3 months and it may be too late to repair and, no, you will not have an effective negligence case.

Have you made a scheduled appointment with an ortho specialist and mentioned some kind of fee agreement with them?  When The answer isn't any, then you have not exploed all of one's options.  How about going toa free clnic in your town and outlining the problem?  How about nearby er and getting the team ortho take a peek at it?  If you can not pay immediately, they'll probably work anything out with you.  every one of the above are worth a try.

Place the drama llama in the paddock.  You're not the only real person in the planet with monetary problems.  Locate A remedy or sit it out before 3 months are up and then expect the very best in your therapy and recovery.  When The PA made an error, then work with the physician's office to create it right.

It's only been 2 months...She originaly tried placing an appt. with an ortho for me.he told her about the90 day thng with the inssurance, she then called my insurance company and they told her the same thing.then we called the insurance company and tried outlining the situation.They told us the same also. If I'd the type of cash to spend of pocket I'd have attempted that, but i dont! so lets recap this...I fractured my palm. The physician didnt do what he must have. Our new doctor and myself have tried getting me into an ortho. my insurance wont do anything untill my 3 months is up.I cant afford spending of pocket for this.and within the mean-time my hand gets worse. Thus it all involves, Im not wealthy to cover it to be set. so the physicians of the planet may do whatever it's they like trigger the know there's no consequances if they dont...ACTUAL good...and people wonder why society is all messed up like it's and people are how a are...so i guess the lady that died recently from the coronary attack since she found him he did nothing and delivered her home.i guess its her problem to

Just an FYI re this declaration:  I believe that is fairly fundamental to permit for swelling, which requires a much more than an hour or so to occur.  The development is usually from splint to free cast to company cast based upon the fracture.

Sorry, but when you wait 3 months due to "insurance factors" and it gets worse, you mightn't have a case.
It's likely you have already taken it with 3 x rays and not seeing a professional following the first proof that it was obtaining worse.
Quite simply, you're adding to your personal situation by delaying appropriate treatment and that decreases your state considerably if you actually had one at all.
Consult a lawyer and evaluate your options.

Do I Have A Malpratice Case

Postby Gotzon » Thu Apr 03, 2014 7:30 am

Just thinking. why might my new physician say after taking a look at the xray.that the P.A. Shouldn't have casted it?
That I should have been delivered to an ortho immediately so they really might have set hooks in it.she also explained that he shouldn't of been perscibbing a few of the medications. that he was, because of that he was a P.A. and should have directed me to various specialest.But thats not the purpose only at that time.maybe it should be. I dont know.also that i must have been obtaining body attracts significantly more than I'd because of the medications that i was on. getting off the topic.sorry

kronic10:she cannt send me to one until after 90 days due to insurance reasons.

She certainly can make the referral to the surgeon now. What she should tell you is what her medical recommendation is (which is apparently that you see a surgeon), what other alternatives there may be, and what the likely medical outcome of each would be. And she can tell you if your insurance might pay for it, if she knows. You can then find out how much each alternative will cost and make your decision. But saying she "can't" make the referral makes it sound like the insurance company gets to dictate your treatment. Insurance companies don't dictate that, and in my view no doctor should ever suggest that they do.

As for whether you have a medical malpractice case, it's impossible to say without having a medical expert review your medical file and opine on whether the PA has applied the minimal level of skill needed. It's not guranteed that your new physician is correct on what the best treatment should be, and even if she is, that doesn't mean that the treatment you are getting isn't still within the accepted standard of care.
