South Carolina. I wanting to know if I can sue my sons doctor for emotional distress without suing for medical malpractice? The doctor gave my son the wrong shot. My son had already had a varicella (chicken pox) shot and they gave him an extra dose. as a result of that my son had a high fever of 103.1 to 105.1 causing us to go back an forth to the doctor and to the emergency room. The emergency room was for a fever of 105.1 and they took four tubes of blood and a blood culture, a urine test and a chest exam and everything came back normal. The ER doctor came in and said that it was because of that vaccine. My husband had to leave from work, I am pregnant and it has been just awful for me because the doctors even admit to this happen all the time. I am just overwhelmed. Really need some help on what to do about this because I don't want this to go without something being done about it.
