no projection

[faithnlve]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? vt...have voice but not enough strength to project a scream or yell. I was told to use a penny whistle from now on. If I am attacked I cannot cry for help. I lost voice strength in 2007 after having my thyroids removed. I was told there was a small chance of it happening, but it was rare. The therapist told me I have lost 53% strength. The doctor told me that it happens and I took that risk with surgery. Is he/she right? Can I ask for damages?

Haven't you posted about this before? Yes, this is a well documented risk of the surgery you had and you accepted that risk when you consented the procedure. The fact that it happened to you does not mean that the doctor messed something up, it's basically just bad luck. The thyroid gland is basically wrapped around your vocal cords, and separating them can be very difficult. It is not always possible to remove the thyroid without damaging the vocal cords even when all due care is used. You cannot recover any damages from this.

The advice to carry a whistle for protection was spot on. I'd also suggest pepper spray.

Is there anybody in your world that you don't want to sue???
