Nothin better than comin to a gambling form for advice on medical malpractice ... I had a workmans comp question back in 2015 and you guys threw me in the right direction so im gonna shoot off with another one.
I went in for gal bladder surgery on march 23rd. I had the surgery on the 24th and was released on the 25th.
I was home for about a week, barely eating, and somehow managed to gain 15-20 lbs. april 1st (easter morning) i could barely breathe, so i went to the er... I found out i had a pulmonary embolism, fluid in my lungs, a blood clot in my heart, and congestive heart failure..
I spent a week in the hospital being treated for everything and they came to the conclusion what caused the heart failure was a virus (viral myocarditis)
I either got sick from/after the gal bladder surgery somehow , or i was previously suffering from the heart failure and blood clots before i went in for the gal bladder surgery and they went through with the surgery anyhow without picking up on any of this.
my heart was pumping at 15%, that can't be any good under anesthesia.
I turn 34 in 2 weeks, my doctor wants to put me on perminant disability because i can't go back to being a union laborer where i was making $40+ an hour. Its either that or im gonna have to find some type of office work or something that isn't stressful or demanding . I worked my balls off to move up the ladder and get to this point in life and that rate and now im fucked.
im not a sue happy kind of person, and im sure as hell not looking to go out on perminant disability for the rest of my life.
People keep telling me to talk to a lawyer about this.. what do you guys think?
