Im assuming you arent expecting legal advice from this forum and are just asking for opinions or experiences or support, so perhaps disclaimers are unnecessary.

About the unpleasantness Stopdog mentioned...ive read stories about how other doctors treat those who sue. Maybe thats another thing to keep in mind when making your decision.

Thinking maybe thats because attorneys are contacting the other medical doctors to get informatiom, theyll find out about the suit. Yes, even in atrocious cases like this, the other doctors could act in punitive ways. On the other hand, maybe theyd be horrified too. Id check into that if i were considering suing.

Best of luck.
