Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Ohio

I was admitted to a hospital in Feb 2009 for high blood pressure and chest pains. Many tests were run including a chemically induced stress test. They said the test was fine. I thought this test showed the flow of blood from the artiries to the heart. One year later, Feb 2010, I had a heart attack and had to have a quad by pass done. My artiries were 90 to 95% blocked. This did not happen in one year, so why did'nt the original test in 2009 show this. I could have died. Is that medical negligence?

I am sorry to hear about your circumstances. Based upon the available facts, however, I will not be representing you. I urge you to consult immediately with other lawyers regarding your potential legal rights. Your local bar association may have a lawyer referral service that can provide you with the names of some lawyers near you who handle these types of matters. In the alternative, you may want to contact the Columbus Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service (telephone number 614-221-4112; web address http://www.peoplesbar.org/findingalawyer/referral_form.php). I am sorry I cannot help you.
