Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California
A few months ago I got a miner sergery done as a result of that sergery the tool that the doctor used hurt and damaged my small intestent, after being in pain for a couple months thinking that I am healing from my sergery I went into my doctor's office and explained to him the pain I'm dealing with, after a quick look he gave me a bouncy of peels some ointments and told me to try those for about a month, after trying everything he told me I went back to him and told him nothing helps with the pain, he then sends me to a specialist that now says that I need sergery in full anastigia to fix what the other doctor did, can I take this to court ?

First you need to know whether the care provided by the first doctor fell below the standard. If that is the case then you may go forward with your claim.
Greetings! If the doctor's standard of care fell below the standard of other professionals in his field then you have a case. Specialists have higher standards of care as opposed to general practitioners.
