Can i sue the doctor who lied to me big time?

Why would the doctor do a more lengthy and complex procedure--taking up more of his own time--if it wasn't necessary?  \n\nThe situation changed once they had you in the OR and got a better look.  The other option was to wake you up from anesthesia, tell you what happened, and then put you under anesthesia a second time to do the only thing they could have done anyway.  \n\nIt's disappointing that you now have to deal with more than you were prepared for.  But this is what happens in medicine.  It's not like hiring a contractor.

Get a hold of your medical record and anything you signed. Sometimes they make you sign a release before and maybe in the fine print is says that you allowed them to remove anything else if they judged that it was a risk.\n\nAt that point, if you did sign such a release, it becomes more difficult, but not impossible to sue his ass. You have to prove that he made an error in judgement and sue him for malpractice. If you can't prove it, then you're stuck ...\n\nGood luck!

I would definatley go to another doctor part of a different hospital and get a second opinion.  This is not only medical malpractice, but medical negligence.  After that, I would go and sue.

I did and won.  The guy prosecuting made the whole thing up about cationing me and it was all lies - my age, phone number, tv details the whole lot.  I pleaded not guilty and got a new court date and TV licensing dropped the case 1 day before due in court.  You can go not guilty if you dont have a tv or if they've lied like above. Good luck - try it what have you got to lose ????

Well, if you hired a mechanic to fix your car....and he didn't.  Would you pay him?  \n\nIf the guy wasn't absolutely sure he could help you....and knew that you could be helped....he should have sent you to the specialist to start with.\n\nHe put you through an unnecessary procedure.  Every case is different.  But, I think I'd be kinda angry.\n\nYou're options, though, depend heavily on any forms you may have signed prior to his doing the procedure.  Did you sign anything acknowledging that it might not be successful and that your doctor would not be held responsible, if that were the case?\n\nAs I said, each procedure/condition is very individualized.  It's impossible to advise you w/o more information.

STOP! before retaining an attorney $$$, consider contacting the business and informing them of the incident and request the name of their ins. provider. Often they make reasonable offers. (in this case doc bill plus $1000)\n\nOnly if they refuse and your injuries/damages exceed your states max. small claims award by $1000 should you even consider discussing the matter with an attorney. \n\nUnless you were injured and treated professionally (have a bill) your case is weak. Damages for pain and suffering with this type of occurance will be aprox. $1000 unless you can prove the incident was the result of negligence or malice. \n\nIf you hire an attorney it is likely there won't be enough money left to pay the bill for your care.

Contact the manager of the lab and let that person know that you feel that the doctor should be liable for this bill because the doctor prevented you from the proper course of action and ask the manager to redirect the bill to the doctor.  It doesn't hurt to ask.  I have had similiar situations and because I was persistent ...they finally gave up.  But you may want to choose a different doctor.

You were 100% ripped off.  I would go to the Small Claims Court over this - it costs £50 for the case and you will probably win back your £160 from them so you gat a net recovery of £110 which is well worth it.

Yes, but the first thing you should do is contact your state's Board of Medical Examiners.  They can audit the records of the physicians office and even revoke the doctors license to practice.  Then, you'll have some evidence and a leg to stand on in court.

Ok. You have to be careful on how you play your game here because if he can prove that anything you say about him is untrue he may have grounds for his deformation suit.\n\nIf he has wronged you, there are a couple of things you can do:\n1. Sue him for the wrong he did to you. \n2. Contact the better business bureau in your area\n3. Report what he did to the government group that regulates car dealers in your area\n4. Contact the TV station in your area that does customer complaint reporting.

No.   You will not win this potential  lawsuit.  There is no damage.  You could sue, and you would win.  But, what would you win?  If there are no damages then there is no monetary judgement.  You really do not even know if it was filled wrong.  I would ask for a copy of the script-or, at least to see it.  It could just have easily been written wrong.  It's a mistake that was caught before harm was done.  I would find out what happened.  Either you need to find a new pharmacy or a new doctor.  If it was something written wrong and the pharmacist should have notice it, you may be looking for  a new both.

Welcome to the real world. My brother-in-law is a lawyer for a government agency. He tells us that all lawyers are dishonest. Now, this brother-in-law is the best husband, father, and man that I have came in contact with. Go figure? \nThere were six of us who were permanently injured at the same company. Indiana law states that a person cannot sue his/her employer; only the company of a machine manufacturer if the problem was with a mal-function machine caused by their error.  Each of us called lawyers all over the state of Indiana. We also contacted an extreme amount of government elected officials and we could not get help. We did have proof a black list existed for those who were injured there and for those with chronic diseases. I will not go into detail. If you find legal help, you are one of the few who finds one. \nThose who believe that suing is so easy are extremely uneducated and IGNORANT!!! Sorry, even after eighteen years, I hurt so much and the pain and memories of what we went through will probably haunt me forever. May God lead you to justice.

You can sue her for slander.  You would need to proof she said something about you that she knew to be false and that it harmed your reputation in some way.\nHypothetically, if she said you failed to pay something you owed, and it's true, then it's not slander.\nIf she can show she reasonably believed it was true, it's not slander.\nIf she said something false about you, but it didn't harm you in any way, then its difficult to prove slander (If you are in a business for example, and she tells everyone that you steal from your clients, but you don't lose any business because no one believes her, a judge may not grant any awards)

Yes, but it would have to be small claims court. Make sure you bring all the paper work you can muster up, especially your child's statement, the fact that the DA couldn't proceed.. and that you did indeed lose 2 weeks for work because of her. And some pay stubs to prove how much you would have made. Mention your feelings, how it embarrassed you at your work/or in front of your boss.(Don't dramatize it though, just mention)!\n\nYOU CAN SUE FOR SLANDER AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.- because you lost work because of her, I think your chances are very good. I wish you luck!

yes it is possible to sue someone you've never met personaly\n\nno I dont think it would be possible to sue for that though, people lie all the time, and its not like he suffered a fninancil loss or anything, maybe he could say emotional distress but I think he would have a hard time proving and suing for that
