I live in NC, 3 months ago, I was diagnosed with a large brain aneurysm,( accidently found in an MRI done for the treatment of migraine...!!) and was admitted in hospital for emergency surgery.In cerebral angiogram, as it was not bleeding, doctor sent me home, and instructed to do surgery some time soon, as a planned one. Now, i am a candidate for surgery, living on lot of restrictions.
I had an MRI brain done in 2005, in NY, for an eye workup, which I was told everything is negative.I requested that CD from that radiology centre and showed to my neuro surgeon.he was shocked...!! My aneurysm is there in that old MRI almost in the same size......
I asked for my medical reports from my eye doctor.MRI report from the radiology centre reports-negative brain MRI...!!
My question is , that imaging centre failed to report a major problem, can I sue them? If I was diagnosed in 2005, I had good medical insurance, no mortgages to pay, I could have done that surgery easily.Now, my insuranse doesnt cover the whole amount, I have mortgages, and tons of bills to pay, my son is in college, I have to pay his fees,and I am the only earning member in my family.I cannot think of a surgery now.
I really want to know, whether I can sue the imaging centre for failure to report this major problem.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
