Consult with a better doctor, and get the child fixed immediately. I find it hard to understand you being told to wait a year. Then consider making a malpractice claim for at least your current and past medical expenses. If there is any long term damage, like deformity, health issues, etc., then you need to talk to counsel about what claim to make. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
