To have a successful medical negligence or malpractice claim there has to be permanent damage, if there was not permanent damage you may not be able recover any damages. Also, from the delay in you not having surgery for another year following diagnosis it could also prove detrimental to your case. I hope you have a lot of money to gamble with on this.
Also Tony you may want to inform people that you are representing yourself, this is pertinent information to getting accurate answers.

nicely no longer something isn't conceivable in cricket and this is purely a remember of time earlier a team is able to chase down one of those intense form of runs (466 in this sport) and win. England purely prefer to pass at about 3 an over (which isn't all that a lot fairly), play absolutely (on a pitch that has stopped misbehaving) and keep all their wickets intact and they are in with a danger of doing it. South Africa don't have the international's astounding bowling attack both (and the seemers are searching a touch unthreatening at the second one) and that's conceivable that Smith has declared with a gettable objective on the board (in my opinion i imagine he must have waited till South Africa had some more beneficial runs) on a pitch that has replaced, and more advantageous, dramatically over the technique some days. i imagine England's astounding danger of a win is in the adventure that they play consultation by utilising consultation with out panicking (they have managed to barter the first one rather decently) and would take care of no longer to lose any batsmen in the present day. That way they're going to have all 10 wickets to play with the following day and each and every of the time they choose as an instance South Africa that England should not be underestimated and would play sturdy cricket and win continuously. they'd also be able as an instance anybody that South Africa's bowling attack isn't all this is cracked as a lot as be. although, in this attempt I have my doubts that England are going to play that absolutely. and that i do not imagine that they are frequently that ambitious after what occurred in the course of their first innings and the detrimental way they performed each and every now and then. I also do not imagine that England own adequate batsmen who will or can play the type of constructive cricket that they prefer to play in the present day. allow's be straightforward the following, there are quite a few among the ranks which have far too many mind freezes and don't have interaction their gray remember adequate. I hence imagine that a win is not likely (although i think a draw isn't outdoors the area of danger). yet we will see. England are actual (for the most section besides) a maturing and rather respectable, and aggressive, part. this is set up for an exciting, and exciting, end what ever occurs.

I'm sure there's a lot more to this - it sounds very complicated.
There's no way, without reviewing all the documentation and testimony so far, to be able to say whether or not you have a case. Lawyers pursue cases that have the potential of large payouts, not necessarily only cases they can win.
You should NEVER use the defense counsel's expert witness as your own! Hopefully your lawyer has explained this to you.

I doubt this is what you want to hear, but from your "reader's digest" version of your story, here is what I get: In terms of liability - to the extent that one (your first doctor) can be sued - a MISSED diagnosis is harder to prosecute as opposed to a MIS-diagnosis. Either way, hope you feel better soon. GL.
[edit (additional)]:
YOUCH! - just re-read what you wrote..... WHY (?!?!?!?) would you consider using *their* expert witness as your own? As as "expert" - whether a justified label or not - he WILL be partial to one side of this argument.....which side do you think he will take?

I don't think he would accept the offer . But Your lawyer can get one that will contradict everything He says. Expert witnesses make big money by testifying anyway you want or need them to go.

If you can x-question him, I'd get in a different expert instead to highlight the deviance from care.
