Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New Jersey

doctor misdiagnosed

my son is 6 and I took him to the pediatrician because he had a sore throat which he has had strep throat one month previous to this. The doctor stated nothing was wrong maybe a virus. Two weeks later I took him to my doctor that diagnosed him with strep throat. Do I have a case with misdiagnosing my son.

NO! Come on... This is the CRAP that makes people want to make it impossible for anyone to sue for anyting unless they are rich! It is hard enough now (despite the propoganda you get from big business, remember they OWN the news!) What are your damages? Is your kid dead? NO! Did he lose a limb? NO! Did he miss work? NO! You have a 6 yo who was sick and cranky a couple weeks. Be grateful you have kids, many want them and do not have them. Be grateful you could afford a doctor, many can't! Be grateful he only had strep, and not cancer or Lukemia.
