What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas.
Long story short:
I have what was believed an infection. My local doctor cultured it. + as a MRCoNs staph. Treatment was Linezolid. He refereed me to a infectious diseases doctor in the same practice. Infectious disease neither confirmed or denied if the treatment was appropriate. He did not culture a second time there was no second treatment option. The wound was chronic . His opinion was for me to see a dermatology because the area was chronic. i complained to the doctor about lack of information i was getting when asked if the treatment given by the first doctor was appropriate . The clinical manager stepped in and said i was welcomed back for a second visit if i was concerned the infection was still culturing. I did not go back for the same reason i did not get direct and sufficient answers or treatment from first visit.
Not more than few days area got yellow and pussy again ( i have pictures of timeline of the wound that i was told was no longer infected) i got very concerned and sought opinion of another infectious disease doctor that runs his own practice whose more reputable. The area of same treatment culture back a real infection Strep B cultured by the 2nd doctor. What was explained to me by the 2nd doctor is that MRCoNs staph is not a "true" infection but is a opportunistic bacteria. He stated even if there was no infection, not giving me a treatment was not an option ,because the chances were high i would get a infection because of the slow wound healing. The 2nd doctor on revisit was very surprised how effective the treatment was. This process has cost me $400 out of pocket to seek a second opinion.
I got on the correct treatment based on the culture results. Keflex + Minocycline now the wound have healed 100% I'm very happy i got the correct treatment. Without any of my personal opinion and just stating the facts that the first (ID) (infectious disease) doctor did not act prudent . Attorneys do not want a lawsuit ; if the damages are not strong enough for a reward or if they think a doctor is judgment proof. What I am asking is in the State of Texas, can the practice as a whole in it medical nature be sued to persuade a lawyer to take my case to give more standing to the damages done to me, can the doctor Mal-practice insurance be sued individually while suing the practice ? How do i go about this to get a lawyer to see my case for preliminary evaluation.
An attorney referral who believe they can get a summary judgement.
An attorney referral who believe this is a case best fitting of their practice.
Please and thank you.
