Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Pennsylvania
Untreated abdominal abcess
I had a hysterectomy in December in January I had an abcess rupture. I spent 2 days in a hospital after which I was released at no risk. 1 day later I was rushed to another hospital where I under went emergency surgery 3 times for 2 more abcesses that my original doctor failed to do anything about even after an ultra sound showed other possible abcesses which in a matter of 24 hrs. Grew to the size of a baseballs. I was septic and very close to losing my life, the infection was through out my entire body. Do I have a case against the original hospital and the doctor there? The doctors treating me now told me that it was complete neglect on the part of the other doctor and hospital.

YOou do not describe the course of the condition which led to your admission for treatment. Your condition at the time of discharge [preceding your readmission for treatment of the further abcesses is also not described.
