Hello Everybody,
I will write the story briefly. Your opinions will be very important for me.
For long time I had a problem with my nose in breathing. Basically, the bone inside was not straight and was blocking the air coming in. I went to a doctor and explained my situation. As I said to you, I told him that the bone was not straight and needed to be fixed. After that, as it was expected, he recommended a surgery. After telling much, he told me that pushing the part of the bone at bottom would be enough for me to breath comfortably. Not understanding what he said much, I agreed and had the surgery. A week after the surgery, I started to realize that there was not difference at all, but he told that it would improve after a while. Fortunately, Insurance paid most of the cost, remaining 3500$ for me to pay.
A week ago, I visited a doctor for a medical exam. In the exam, she said "your nose septum is deviated to the left and you can not breath like this, you need to use medicine". After I mentioned that I had had a surgery, she was amazed to hear it.
I was aware that It would need another surgery, however, I did not think if I would have any right to sue the doctor. My only aim is to breathe but paying for another surgery seems strange a bit. What do you think that the right action would be in this situation?
*I am sorry for misusing vocabulary and any other grammar mistakes. I am not a native speaker.
Thanks for reading.
