Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia
Feb. 2012 I starting experiencing severe knee pain. Since that time I've had 4 knee surgeries with the last in Feb 2013 with a total knee replacement. I ended up losing my job and insurance and have not been back to the doctor since Aug 2013. I continued to have severe pain and complained to my doctor back in Aug, he responded that it could take up to 6 to 12 months to be healed. I don't feel I'm any better off than I was before my surgeries. What advise can you give me as what to do? This has ruined my life!

See another doctor.
I'm sorry for your problems but you haven't asked a legal question. Doctors can't cure everything and heal everyone; if the could we'd all live forever in perfect health. But you've likely made things woirse by having a problem and not seeing the doctor in seven months - so either see your doctor or another doctor ASAP.
