How to solve the medical malpractice case?

Question

I need your excellent opinion and good informations. I have a problem to be solved immediately. I am 23 years old woman. never married, no experience in sexual intercourse, physically virgin. Perfectly healthy before this happen.

7 weeks ago, I felt pain in lower back and went to the pain clinic and consulted doctor. After consultation he gave me injections in my lower spine. It was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After that, I came home and slept but awakened by severe pain in my belly (the abdomen) 3 o'clock in the next morning. I called 911 and went to emergency room in hospital. They checked and told me there was a lot of blood in the belly and need immediate operation. Operations done immediately and taken about two and half hours and they got rid of blood about 700 ml. I was given two bags of blood transfusion during operation. They cut the velly about 15cm and I have a scar now. After operation, Doctor told me it was corpus luteum rupture.

After leaving hospital, I went to the pain clinic and met the doctor who treated me and asked about the medicine which I had been injected 7 weeks ago. But doctor said it was only a coincidence and he did nothing wrong and refused more explanation and rejected giving me the document of medical diagnosis and treatment (medical chart). I asked him if he use the a hormone drug in injection and he said he never used a hormone drug in my treatment. And he just gave me a simple memo instead of full copy of chart. Contents of memo was " Lidocaine 5ml " only. Therefore I met the chief of hospital and he issued the document. Document of medical chart said as follows.

1) Triamcinolone 40 mg/ml (1ml) 1 vial * 1 1 EPI
2) 2% Lidocaine 400mg/20ml (20ml) 1 vial * 1 1 EPI

I known that the doctor lied me about using of hormone drug and dosages. He even lied me about the volume of medicine.
In fact, I can not believe the credibility of the issued copy of document which issued by the chief of hospital. I have heard that hormon medicine like triamcinolone have big side effects to blood vessels. I think It affected seriously in rupture of the corpus luteum. I also so worry about relapse of this thing and any harm to the pregnancy in the future.

But, I have not much informations about hormone medicine and informations in internet and guidebook in pharmaceutical company are superficial and can not understand. Hospital said that I must present them medical evidence about correlations with the use of triamcinolone and rupture of the corpus luteum. They refused talk.

Please inform me of any opinion and idea to solve this problem.

(1) Correlation with the use of triamcinolone and corpus luteum rupture
(2) Side effect of triamcinolone
(3) Any medical thesis or journal or report relevant to this case
(4) Possibility of maltreatment during injection to spine (ovary exists near front of injection point)
(5) How to find out this relevant source material or informations
(6) How to handle this case (legal point or strategy)

I fully sincerely appreciate you in advance. Thank you so much your long attention.

Answer 1

Here's the scoop. Each case differs and you have to "prove" what he did was of negligence. Therefore, it is best you contact an attorney. They will know how to obtain personal information and investigate the past procedures.

Answer 2

You have absolutely no case until you, or your attorney, can prove that the hormone you took can rupture what ever it is you ruptured. Is there no other way this thing can rupture? Just because one thing preceeded another does not confer a relationship.
