Re: misdianoses
A misdiagnosis is not always the same as malpractice. You would need to have an attorney review the medical file. That aside, the cost of a medical malpractice case is very high. The costs are not recoverable and luckily your damages are comparatively small. In order to be a viable case, damages need to be at least 6 figures.
It is far better that your child is well and the damages small then to have a malpractice case. Hope she continues to have a good recovery.
