Prayers, Medical & Legal Advice Needed

Posted on 11/17/2011 8:48:42 AM PST by Sopater

Please pray for my wife as she is having surgery today to repair a blocked ureter as a result of a botched c-section.


TOPICS: Health/Medicine
KEYWORDS: insurance; liability; medical; surgery
Which brings me to my question regarding medical legal advice. What can I expect from the insurance company, hospital, and drs regarding all this extra care that is needed? We've had extended hospital stays, surgery, etc.

The clinic has already told me that their legal dept will be contacting me. I don't want to say anything that I shouldn't. Any advice?

Thanks FReepers!

Loving Father, I entrust myself to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed, I may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around me. Through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Into your hands, I commend my body and my soul. Amen.

On the botched surgery check the bar association for the best atty in your area that handles medical malpractice cases and see if he will take it on a per centage if he wins the case. Make sure you bring all the paper work and documentation with you and do a lot of homework. Do not sign any release with the hospital over the prior botch work and find a lawyer today!!! start making phone calls and do not delay.

Surgery went well. Mrs. Sopater is doing well. Lots of pain, but getting better.

Thanks for the prayers. The good Lord was there guiding the physicians.
