Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia

Military Doctor puntured small intestine by mistake

Went in for a csyth on my ovaries and was release from the hospital after being in there for a four days. Home for two day began to cramp, ambulance rush me back to the hospital to find out that my bowel was leaking into my stomach and if I wouldn't have came that day I would have died. I was told if I had permanent damage that the only way I had a case. Plus I have 2 years to do it. Sept will be 2 years. I have been sent to specialist, I bleed all the time, everything I eat comes right out. They want to give disability, I'm pain killers, all kind of medication. Is there anything I can do?
