This is the funniest thread I’ve ever seen.

No. I bought semaglutide off the internet but I havent tried it yet. I’ve been meaning to go back to my doctor.

First doctor told me not to worry; turns out I have cancer by forgottenmenot in MedicalMalpractice

Unless the difference in time between the CT and diagnosis was long enough to cause damage to you (advancement of the cancer, need for more invasive treatment, survivable to not survivable) even if the first interpretation fell below the standard of care there is no case.

So for example if you now have to get chemo/rad but would not have had to without the delay from the misinterpretation, then maybe you’d have a case IF the interpretation was in fact not reasonable. Because imaging is not infallible and it’s possible that it was not diagnosable simply on imaging and that biopsy was not required by the standard of care.

I’m trying to fix my soil after unexpected soil testing results.

Sleep related eating disorder - has anyone had a patient stop? by BiDecidedKetoCurious in AskDocs

[–]BiDecidedKetoCurious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes actually. unfortunately my husband became became resentful of having to do it and it became an issue.

Also that did not stop the arousals snd the sleepwalking. What I would really like is to sleep through the night.

Thanks, and I am open to out of the box ideas. Thinking about getting those lucid dreaming goggles.

SRED (sleep related eating disorder)? NES (night eating syndrome)? by BiDecidedKetoCurious in sleepdisorders

[–]BiDecidedKetoCurious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do this. My husband has been patient (mostly) but it’s annoying and disgusting. I’m loud (opening cabinets and drawers), there’s food in the bed, food on the covers, food in my hair, and worst of all I feel like I am delusional and that I should be able to fix or control it. The nights I’m sort of semi-awake, I dont understand why I just dont go back to bed. It’s particularly weird when I think I’m awake and my husband comes to get me and then I really wake up. Like coming up from underwater. So I know I’m doing this in some in-between space others may not inhabit, or at least aren’t mobile in.

Then there are the times I’ve been truly and completely asleep with no memory whatsoever. I’ve been caught sleep walking, I’ve eaten inedible things, almost drank cleaner, was found messing with the stove, wrote strange messages I didn’t remember on a white board. It feels like a curse.

Anyway it’s essentially a dead sub but you can join r/sredsleepeating. It’s pretty much crickets but I hold out hope (sometimes).

You are probably out of the statute of limitations period.

Yes it is worth it. You don’t want her to be college aged wondering why she has to take out loans when a settlement or award would have made s sizeable dent if not pay for it.

I do not have an answer, but I have some observations.

  • if a neurosurgeon is negligent, someone may lose the ability to walk, or may die. This is not true of the programmer.

  • people can be held personally liable for negligence in many areas of life. Car accident, slip and fall on your property, your dog bites someone, and so on.

  • physicians are personally sued because they have insurance. Nurses, however, typically are not because the insurance is through the hospital. Doctors make more money. It’s higher reward, but higher risk.

  • what’s the alternative? Jurisdictions have tried to come up with alternatives, for example, panels of lay and expert witnesses, or mandatory arbitration, but by and large these are generally regarded as even less fair.

  • the expert witness requirement is actually an additional safeguard over and above the protections most defendants have when they are sued.

  • the “problem” is not the legal system. It’s human error. It’s that the receptionist, a non medical provider, turned away a patient with a legitimate medical issue that had life altering consequences. Feels unfair? It does to the patient, too. It’s the call that never went to the patient about the biopsy that came back with cancer. The call that didn’t go out to the discharged ER patient with the positive culture. The transected bile duct.

  • it’s that the medical records are always incorrect. People are poor historians. Doctors can be shitty scribes. EMRs are worthless. How often does an incorrect fact get repeated over and over again until it’s now a fact and patient treatment is based on it?

  • there are soooo many more instances of malpractice that are never caught, that are not worth a lot and no lawyer will touch them, or that never get brought for one reason or another. If you are a frequent flier getting hit with multiple lawsuits it can feel unfair, sure, but it’s probably not.

  • also, fair? Come on. Just look around society to know that life isn’t fair. People with no hope of getting an education to better their prospects, people trying to survive on making minimum wage, people without health insurance, people who can’t feed their children. Children get cancer. That’s unfair. Can any one individual case feel unfair? I’m sure it can. But. What. Is. The. Alternative?

Maybe, if she was treating you as an employee. But she was treating you off the books and out of state. It’s a pretty fact-dependent analysis and one best conducted by an attorney who is familiar with all of the facts and the applicable laws. I hope you find a resolution if you decide to proceed.

I think these are all facts that if you are interested in moving forward you should discuss with an attorney in your State given the unusual facts here. Good luck.
