Have you tried to find one? It is hard because dr.s don't like to testify against each other. It's a club. Call the local bar association and get a list of malpractice lawyers in your state, and call all of them until you find one who will take your case. Good luck.

It would be difficult for any lawyer to accept your case as there are too ramifications and it appears that your claims are spurious. You can demand your medical records from any health care provider to support your claim and that might interest someone. Remember that your attorney has to provide both documents and expert witnesses to support your claim, like a criminal court where we have to prove guilt, you too must be able to substantiate your claim and unless there is merit in your case, it will be dismissed as frivolous. While I am not against you, I am telling you that it is a very difficult thing to do without sufficient proof. As a physician, I can tell you that we do not do hernia removal but simply repair the weakened muscle tissue. A comatose state for pain management is also unusual, and you failed to mention the need for the four major surgeries. I doubt that any attorney will accept your case, there are simply too many complications.

The best way is call information or look on computer for you local Bar Association and they can look up a med mal lawyer and they usually do a free consultation. In the consultation they will see if you have just cause and make sure the statute of limitations is not up.
