What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New jersey
Can someone please tell me if I have a case, In July 2009 at a surgical office I had a simple shoulder surgery resulting from a work injury.. I had weight lifters shoulder.. which means my clavicle and ac joint bones was rubbing together due to excessive lifting.. I had the surgery and then it all goes bad from there.. I ended up on a respirator machine with all types of tubes down my throat. No one can explain what happen till later i found out that i had pulmonary edema which means i was bascially drowning with out being under water. My PC told me that PE comes from one of 3 things: 1. pneumonia, which i didnt have being i was cleared the day before 2. CHF or congestive heart failure, i know i didnt have that and 3. fluid overload which means i was given to much fluid through the IV. my pc says It has to come from fluid overload. I spent almost 2 days on a resp. fully alert and very scared .. the doctors at the hopsital told me they was very afraid that if they take me off my thoart would close and i can die.. I was only taken off cause the tube was filling my stomach up with air and they had to adjust it.. some how it came out and i was breathing on my own. while in the hospital i was given heparin shots in my lower left abdomial area. for 4days. because they made me be bed ridden, after being in there for a week i was allowed to go home. exactly 11 days later i notice a very tender area in the same spot where i was getting my injections of heparin.. after 3 days what started as a small pimple grew to the size of a grapefruit. i was admitted back into the hospital and was told i had a mrsa infection. they even swabbed my nose and that was + too.. after being in the hospital for 11 days and another surgery to drain and removed infected tissue i was sent home on a pic line and told to self medicate myself through iv for 3 weeks..I was very drained and tired and very desperate to get well.. in september my pic line was removed and now i was to start therapy for the shoulder that i had surgery on... 3 sessions of therapy later I was told I have another infection and this time on the side of my face.. HORRIBLE.. i was giving another antibotic and sent back to the infection diease doc. the infection was clearing up and i was sent back to therapy .. october here we go again .. another infection same side of my face different area.. i was admitted to the hospital and given those iv antibotics again.. its now novemeber and so far now infection but now i am told i would always have this infections maybe for the rest of my life.. Can someone tell me do I have a case and if so how much would i get if i chose to sue.. I think i am entitled for some kind of pain and suffering
