"Sounds like you had grounds for a real malpractice suit." I was in a coma for 2 months. kept alive on machines. This caused temporary amnesia and when I got my memory back everyone said sue. I didn't have the real facts at the time and didn't know whether they saved my life or destroyed it. If the former sure didn't want to sue. I couldn't find out what really happened so went to hospital and asked for records. Didn't hear from them for awhile so called again and was told they had been sent to a storage company in Denver and I would have to pay them to find in storage and it was such a lengthy record it would take some time to compile. I paid for the record but didn't get a duplicate copy of it but a summary. I saw some untrue statements and decided to sue. SURPRISE! SURPRISE! The AMA lobbied a bill in state legislature stating the suit had to be filed in 1 year from the event. The lawyers said I couldn't win and it would require so much expense they couldn't handle on contingency. So suing is not always the answer.
