I know that medical malpractice case are very hard and that the doctor usually wins, but I would like to know if this is a case worth pursuing. I had an ear hematoma about 10 months ago, almost every treatment I lookup recommends draining the hematoma and then wrapping with a compression band. My hematoma was never drained and just wrapped with a compression band. This caused me to develop some internal scar tissue and hardened cartilage. It is not really noticeable or anything but I believe it wouldn't have happened if it was drained properly. Is this something I can pursue? or will they just claim they thought that was the appropriate treatment at the time? I am in New York state, thank you.
