Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida
OB gyne refused treating me further...
Went to an OB when pregnant because I was bleeding and clotting, he said its normal and to watch it does not get heavier. Few days later it seemed a little worse with the clotting, I admitted myself into ER and they told me to go back to my gyne. I made appointment and next thing I know they do not want me back there. I end up having a miscarriage, I seek out another OB and he tells me I have not miscarried fully. Next visit with him Im bleeding on table and rushed to another hospital for either a D&C or Hysterectomy. I ended up having a Hysterectomy and blood transfusion. I almost died. Can I sue the first OB for neglecting my problem?

Re: OB gyne refused treating me further...
Yes you may be able to sue your first OBgyn. However, please be reminded that medical malpractice actions in Florida must be commenced usually within 2 years. (The law says 2 years from the date you knew or should have known of the negligent act but in no event greater than 4 years) To have a claim against the first OB - he should have been able to prevent the miscarriage and the eventual hysterectomy. I would love to be able to discuss this further with you. Please call me. Thanks for your inquiry.
