What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.
My mom has a chronic infection that gives her shaking chills and seizures a few times in the past. She could tell when her seizure would be coming, and that's what happened last time. She had high fever and started to have shaking chills, so she visited our Medi-Cal family doctor.
He refused to give her immediate treatment to stabilize her condition. Instead, he assigned her to multiple tests that would take several days later for results to come back, and only then would he prescribe her with the medication. When she insisted him on immediate care just to help her stop shaking and be well enough to drive herself to the testing locations, he gave her his attitude and kept repeating that she's too ignorant to understand what he's doing. After continuous pressure from her, he gave a type of medication that did not help. She continued to suffer through her fever and shaking chills that same day. Her condition got so bad that she had to use the medications that he had prescribed her a very long time ago (ampicillin and ibuprofen). The medication helped get her back on her feet and she went to get the tests done, but the results came back that she's now resistant to the medications being prescribed. She told our family doctor that she had to take the old medications from the date that he assigned the tests to her to her actual test dates because she was shaking so bad and because he didn't give her any medications when she visited him. However, he completely ignored his refusal to provide her with immediate care but instead blamed her for the result. He continued to give her his attitude, yelling and acting as if he's done everything right and she's the one that knew nothing and did all the wrongs.
My mom's condition has now gone worse because the bacteria of her infection grew resistant to the medications that she used to take, and now she needs higher dosage. We strongly believe that this is a result of our family doctor's malpractice. We really want to sue him to not only get what we deserve but also to save other patients from his malpractice.
