What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Do I have a case? I recieved an overdose of epinephrine administered by nurse in I.V.
E.R. Doctor noticed mistake and said should have been in muscle. Dr. called cardiologist and began treating me for a cardiac arrest. My blood pressure and heart rate was very high.
My chest hurt and my head felt like it was going to explode. When things calmed down I told Doctor that on right side of head was worse headache I ever had. Left hospital that way.
Next day headache very bad and start of memory issues. See family Doctor and he wants CT of brain. CT shows aneurysm at spot of complaint. I had intercaranial surgery to remove aneurysm a year ago. I still have daily headaches and short term memory lose. The Neurosurgeon says that the headaches and memory issues are not from the surgery but from the incident before.
Can somone help me with this? I know it can be argued that the aneurysm was already there. BUT I did not walk in there with a headache! I did not walk in there with memory lose! I did not walk in there with chest pains! All of these I walked out with and still have.
On the bright side the hospital never sent a bill.(yet) For that matter it was very hard to get any info from that date.
