No they didn't.

So you're a medical expert, a legal expert, a football expert, and a strange noise in Nola expert? What can't you do?

Medical malpractice is extremely difficult to win. Medical malpractice insurance expensive = insurance companies with many great lawyers. Getting a doctor to testify against another doctor...about as likely as a cop testifying against another. Not a Doctor or a Lawyer but that's the truth.
I agree with this. Who's to say you didn't have a pneumonia initially and went home and developed heart failure as a complication? If X-rays show pneumonia initially, case closed.

You can sue anyone, to win. You'll have to prove there was a duty to act, the doctor failed act, that there was actual damages and the failure to act was the proximal cause of the damages or something along those lines.

My other advice get a good life term policy so you don't leave your wife with nothing when you die instead of trying to sue doctors that are attempting to help you.

It's amazing how well doctors/insurance companies can influence public perception into them being the perpetual victims.

So what's the permanent damage from the delayed diagnosis, which needs to be proved for a successful malpractice case? Your kidneys? The defense attorney will argue that your creatinine is a little elevated due to dehydration from the new medication of Lasix, in addition to the ace inhibitor that you were recently started on.

Are you on the path towards making a full recovery?
So what is your exact reason for suing?
As my cardeologist has told me, we will have to wait and see what the term "full recovery" means in my case. I was Right on dearh's doirstep by the time I got my surgery and my major organs had shut down.
Everything has already come back up to normal except my kidneys. They've got better but are still not normal. This is causing me to have issues with fluid retention. I'm on lasics (I've lost 55 lbs since surgery from shedding 7+ Gallons of fluids). But I'm still dealing with fluid issues. For example I'm scheduled to go Friday to the hospital and have fluid drained from around one lung and will turn around Monday and have the same procedure done for the other lung.

I my case, I only looked into it because my insurance company was indicating that they wouldn't pay my bill, which was almost half a mil. They ended up covering it though.

If it was such a bad situation why were you waiting so long to go back and/or get a second opinion? You knew something wasn't right so why'd you let it get so bad?
Blame the victim huh dumbass. He isnt a doctor, you know someone trained to identify those symptoms he was having.

In my eyes that's not even the problem.. for the life of me I could never see myself suing my doctor over an honest mistake

You dumbass, if my tire is leaking air I'm not gonna wait til it's flat to take out the nail and patch it

It's ridiculous how well doctors/insurance lobbyists have swayed public opinion. Anyone who sues a doctor is a scumbag to these idiots.

The main reasons I want to sue:
1. Thee is no valid reason they could not figure out I had congestive heart failure.
2. I'd like to maybe keep them from doing this to the next guy.
3. They came close to killing me. In fact, had I just listened to them, I'd have died around the middle of November at the latest.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm sure you're upset, and if you want to seek legal counsel that's your right.
I'm just telling you, you're very likely wasting a whole ton of energy that would be better directed towards getting yourself better.

It doesn't sound like you will be around long enough to spend any compensation you might be awarded.
