I am thinking of suing the hospital i delivery at?

About a year and a half ago I had an emergency c section. I had a catheter inserted before which I was not happy about. Anyway, right after they took it out I lost the feeling in my urethra that give me the urge to go. A month later I went into retention for 6 hours. My urethra would not relax. I had to have a catheter to drain. Ever since the c section I cannot tell when I have to go except my bladder will ache. I get painful spasms that radiate down my leg throughout the day. I a convinced the catheter caused this damage as that was the only thing near my urethra. It has been a little over a year and a half. I know for personal injury you have two years to sue. Should I? Would I have a shot at winning? I am so afraid I will have severe bladder problems in the future because of this. I am only 24 years old. :(

If you sue a hospital your going to loose...trust me...you don't sue the hospital you sue the doctor and a doctor(who makes bank like no other) have great lawyers since they try to get sued all the time....literally...they could countersue, take all your money, and **** you over because they are doctors with loads of cash and dont care what happens when you leave their care

I suppose you haven't entered a court of law before or filed a suit against someone else. That is why you are so eager to sue a hospital just because of this argument or reason?

You are convinced that the catheter caused this damage? Why? Now you are a doctor? The judge will ask you if you are a doctor, and without a medical findings or investigation of your case, the judge will rule out that your own findings is not appropriate or valid since in the first place you are not a medical practitioner yourself or a qualified physician. If you want to validate your findings you should have asked a second opinion from another doctor for that catheter if it was really the cause of your damage or not. If your own findings is base on your knowledge and intuition then I think you got no case to begin with.

After the doctors or nurses took out the catheter in the first incident you should have informed the medical staff of the hospital so that they can remedy your pain or other problem. But you didn't I suppose and you let the problem grow bigger as the time goes by. And now decided to sue the hospital for that. The negligence lies in you as their patient.

In going to sue someone, the law require you to have a CLEAN HAND, meaning that you have no other intention but to bring justice to your case. But here I clearly see that your intention is to sue them for a fault or wrong doing that they actually didn't do in the first place and you want them to pay you some cash or money for that.
