Podiatrist left a stitch surrounded by and caused a MRSA infection after elective bunion surgery. He tried to treat the infection himself instead of referring me to ID doctor. Now hold an open wound and loads of doctor bills. Cannot sue for malpractice. Was told that such negligence is not grounds for this type of suit. Do I own any recourse at all to get hold of my medical expenses paid by this doctor?
Answer:
To the best of my acquaintance, you have no grounds to sue for anything except malpractice. A podiatrist can't refer you to anyone, that has to be done by your primary perfectionism doctor. If the podiatrist wasn't doing what you wanted you didn't enjoy to go vertebrae, you could have gone to another doctor on your own. Can you sue for negligence? Ultimately, I regard the fact that it be elective surgery hurts your case because you consented to the risk of infection when you opt for surgery. Sorry.
WHO told you that you can't sue? A lawyer? If so, find another attorney.
