Re: Medical Sitituation Problem

This sounds very familiar. I think you posted a shorter version of your situation last week, and I responded that you did have good reason to consult an attorney. Our firm handles these kind of cases, but it wouldn't be proper to comment on details which are confidential, both medically and legally, in this public forum. Please feel free to contact me or another lawyer for a consultation. No charge or obligation.
