The 'Take care of Maya" case is a big deal. It takes a special kind of an attorney to take on these kinds of cases. And alot of money. Malpractice kills over 300,000 people a year. Its sad we as a country let this happen. Attorneys got us here and its going to take attorneys to fix it.
As the attorney said it’s all about the money. No money no service. So much for caring about others.
This leaves out the felony malpractice law: If the bad outcome is proximately caused by the comission of a felony, it is per se malpractice because a reasonable practirioner takes care to avoid knowingly or intentionally comitting, conspiring to committ, attempting to committ, or becoming an accessory to, any felony - where the exercise of prosecutorial discretion not to proceed with a criminal charge does not render conduct lawful.
😮seems pretty cut and dry to me. So sorry about your situation
thats a thing??felony malpractice? is it considered criminal???? Im picturing my doctors all in orange behind bars!!! LOL
I have a hernia, I went to Providence Everett WA then to Harbour view in Seattle where I had a Liver specialist when this Hernia was the size of a quarter. Harbour view made what they referred to as a miscalculation that caused all the sergens I talked with to decline opportunities on me. Acouple of year's want by and the hernia got worse and larger before I was told what had happened in that time it did become a much higher risk I have tried and tried to get help until 4 days ago ago I ended up having a blockage and was told that one side of my stomach was layed wide open and little more than 50per. Chance of not bleeding out on the table. Not only did they kill me but it has been spread out over a few painful and hard years
My goodness that's horrible. Prayer went up for healing.

I had two knee replacements that went wrong caused me to lose my right leg
I was unconscious my friend signed the paper to operate my father was inforned to go ahead.with it. I spent 5 weeks in hospital . I needed a walker to leave and i was crawling around on my floor to get around. It was only a gallbladder operation. I still have a piece clipped in. I ended up getting pain in thst area the scan was done and it said one of my clips were loose. My doctor said nothing about it . I can hardly eat much at all ive vomited a lot of times .Id been in hospital once for an infected gallbladder they let me go home the next day . All they had to do was remove my gallstones. My life is not a life at all. From Australia
That's horrible. You should sue.
I was 24 weeks pregnant when I got a gall bladder attack . I had over 200 little stones and lost 18 kilos during my pregnancy and was told they couldn’t operate till I gave birth . I bought my baby till 39 weeks but I had at least 15 trips by ambulance while pregnant and put on a morphine drip while pregnant . I eventually had the op 4 weeks after I gave birth so my body recovered a little . I too have clips . I’ve had lots of pain in the upper right abdomen and they scan and say it’s fine . I wish you all the best . I’m from Australia as well . Good luck 🙂
My lawyer team is going after the 2 hospitals responsible, and also the doctors. The governing body over those 2 hospitals and doctors have had a very long list of lawsuits, and that body is being sued as well. The lawyer team is comprised of medical union attorneys and others within the state government. This is making the whole damn system responsible. TV, and news Channels have also been contacted and asked to shine light on these malpractice, negligence situations. Enough of this bull shit!
What lawfirm are you going through?
I’ve tried to attain legal council explaining how in the hell didn’t I find out till the day of surgery which type surgery I was having that being open septorhinoplasty vs closed but I was NOT informed. The surgery was postponed for almost 4 months and we tried repeatedly to attain information about the surgery and how it would be performed to NO AVAIL! SO CLEARLY I WAS NOT PROPERLY INFORMED! I had to make a decision on the spot so how the hell was I informed and how the hell is that fair to me? No attorney will take my case! All I heard in this video was blah blah blah the poor man gets screwed! Standard of care and being informed violations get swept under the rug based on your income/financial placement in society! Meanwhile I get to try and figure out how in the hell to live with two ugly ass deep purple scars on the outside of my nose for the rest of my fuckin life! Should be easy to prove the next surgeon would have done something different but here I am almost 3 fuckin months later and I still have no answer as to what the hell happened! Oh yeah some fuckin great informed care alright!
I have a dr medically malpracticing me I have proof and no lawyer will take my case

I was illegally shot by State Police with a taser for no reason. Over two and a half years later I still did not see a medical person on behalf of them. On August 17th 2022 the case was dismissed
8-month-old in the county jail I never saw a doctor once they refused to allow me to see a doctor
What if you were diagnose wrong and had an operation and now are suffering from the procedure which has cause limitations in functioning of your limbs, also on the day of surgery, it was ask for physical therapy but the doctor deem it was not necessary. I was recently told by another doctor for second opinion that l had waltenberg . I wasn't positive for before, what can l do ? Please help
What can I do if a cover up for their mistakes ,forged my signature on consent for surgery,
I am dealing with same exact issue and then some!!!!
they also fraudulently charged my insurance for things they never did!!
So it has to make economic sense. I guess that is why I have been declined by several lawyers. With what I have been through, money is secondary. I guess you go for where it hurts more- the license. Time to fill up that medical board complaint form.
I was hospitalized, was given medicine for #2, had to use toilet, on my wat to toilet i fainted fell and hurt my knee, was not given any treatment even upon telling the doctors and nurses, was discharged from the hospital.
2 weeks later my knee started to hurt after moving around at home, to the point i had to go ER for swelling and pain, can i take legal action against the hospital?
I can tell when medical malpractice is happening I’ve been going to the doctors for over 20 years and still haven’t gotten fixed hundreds of doctors and thousands of dollars I’ve lost with a bad credit score

Btw I'm with you Eric!
At malpractice attorney says he sent this field because he has compassion for people.
For the great majority of personal injury attorneys I have met, they have compassion for fattening their wallet more than anything else.
I’ve definitely worked and met ethical attorneys, but those who care typically defend doctors.
The overall great majority of malpractice cases are settled at less than $30,000 which is the threshold where the lawsuit does not become public information.
It typically cost far more than that to go to trial so doctors are motivated to simply pay out less than $30,000 And this tends to save the insurance company a lot of money, not going to trial.
The great majority of these cases have very little merit
What if the doctor you were sent to by your employer gives you the wrong medication? made my injury worse and i went to see my own doctor and the first thing my doctor told me is to stop taking the medication they prescribed me because it was making it worse and not letting my injury heal.
My doctor prescribed me new medication and made me feel better right away. This was a lil over 3 months ago.
Can't find a lawyer to help me I feel like I have a case
Hello wide world I was drop by EMS 👷WORKERS WHAT SHOULD WE DO? ( me and the Halloweentown High kids)
“Of course it has to make economic sense”
