Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida
New gyno finds large mass - after old gyno found nothing
After several years complng about pain in ovary area, nurse pract., gives me pain pills. 3 months after annual exam turns up nothing again, I seek 2nd opinion. w/in seconds new gyno feels something and does and ultra-sound and finds grapefruit size mass comsuming one ovary and spilling into uterus. Old N/P knew we were tryng to get preg. yet never ordered test to find out where pain was coming from or why I hadn't conceived. Liproscopic surgery wont work because mass is too big. I have to be cut open, (like a c-section).
I will probably loose my ovary. Should I let it go or is this grounds for a complaint to be filed?

Re: New gyno finds large mass - after old gyno found nothing
I strongly recommend you consult, in person, a medical malpractice attorney in your area. There are several facts that an attorney will need to collect from you in order to best advise you. Because statute of limitations on medical malpractice cases are relatively short, I recommend you consult an attorney immediately.
