The most important thing is your daughter’s health. For that you need a consultation with a doctor you trust. Someone from your church, a neighbor, a doc used by your friends. That doctor will know what tests to run to make sure all is ok — which, although your doc had all sorts of self-interested reasons for saying it, is still overwhelmingly likely.
AFTER you see a doctor and have tests run, then decide what else you need to do. I’m a lawyer, and i can tell you that in the most likely and happiest event that your daughter wasn’t infected with anything, you won’t have a claim. But you don’t want a claim — you want a healthy kid.
Then get your daughter a new doctor.
In the meantime, get on the task of finding and speaking with a doctor you trust. it’ll feel good to be doing something to address your situation, and it’s what will most likely yield peace of mind (or the information you need to deal with whatever needs dealing with).
Good luck and don’t worry too much.
Agree with most of what you said. However people doing business in this manner shouldn’t be ignored so they can do it again. Its not about a lawsuit its about preventing other people from getting sick and dying.
I’ve never heard of something like this outside of a VA hospital.
You’re brilliant!
I’m glad you’re on our side.
Are you sure she won’t have a claim if there is no disease?
She is going to have bills and nightmares and financial issues and worry and worry and worry over this inexcusable negligence.
Last I heard, HIV could show up more than 6 months later
There are costs associated with testing. Maybe testing monthly for the next year. She shouldn’t have to pay for any of that. The state medical board should be contacted immediately so they can investigate. They will also give info on other complaints.
