Where did the care occur?
If this was NY, you need to speak with a lawyer licensed to practice in NY as soon as practical.
Re: Question continued
I would need to know more information.
Who diagnosed it as phlebitis? It sounds as if you have nerve damage caused by the insertion of the needle.
Is your arm swollen?
How long have you has it. Is it getting any better.
Please let me know.
