Question : malpractice lawyer?
wondering if anyone knows of a lawyer in canada that would be good to talk to about a medical malpractice case. i had a bad experience a few years ago and would like it to be validated. my intestines were perferated and leaking for days and did a bunch of damage along with destroying all my reproductive organs which were perfectly healthy. three doctors in a row claimed i was suffering from an std, the humiliation and grief that caused alone was tremendous, i have never had an std. they all just look at the previous diagnosis and ignore the pain, treating my like some cheap tramp that deserves the pain. i have asked for advice from a couple different lawyers and nobody seems to want to deal with it. is that the way it is in canada? it’s not fair, i’ll never be the same. there should be some kind of compensation for thier ignorance. not just dumb excuses that at my age these things aren’t common so they had no reason to think that my symptoms and cries for help were valid.
I feel since they took blood, pap, and pee tests they could’ve seen it wasn’t an std. i’m not a doctor but there must have been signs of a serious infection in my blood, they never mentioned any of the results, they didn’t investigate the situation individually, they just looked at the past report and agreed with thier co-worker. in the province i live in they had all these cut backs and lack of beds, closed down entire floors and hospitals, if they had room they would’ve been able to make some time for me. it’s not i suppose the doctors faults for that, thats why every good one leaves the country. thier wage is controlled(specialists are only aloud to work a few days of the month). takes months to get anything done, the waiting lists are long, you can’t get a family doctor. they shut down all the psyciatric hospitals and the patients all live on the streets. why should the people have to suffer and die to save money for who? i paid $ 130.00 p/m for just myself for medical, it stinks!

i am sorry for what has happened to you, but you also have a warped view…you are injured, so listen to a person who has an objective and outside POV. you saw 3 doctors, all qualified and trained i assume. on 3 seperate occasions, the symptoms of what you had seemed – to 3 qualified and trained doctors, to be an std. their diagnosis may have been wrong, but they all saw the same thing, and led them all to the same conclusion.

also keep in mind that this was a few years ago, i cant be sure about it, but i would think that there would be some sort of statute of limitations on your suit…probably running fromt he time that you discovered their negligence
