During a colon exam my wife's colon was cut by the insterment the doctor was using. This required emergency surgery and a five day hospital stay. Her doctor said she was injured because she moved suddenly during the colon exam implying that it was her fault. I thought the anesthesiologist was suppose to put a person far enough under that thay would would not feel the pain and respond by flenching. How can a person be responsable for their actions when they are under anesthetics? A different doctor performed the emergency surgery while her doctor left town for four days.
My wife never had a choice in the matter because she went in for the colon exam and woke up in the sugery room with several holes in her bruised and painful abdomen. The docer had contacted my wife's daughter for permission to operate because she was still knocked out by the colon exams anesthesia. My wife had to endure this trama and shock while be fed by i.v. only for 3 days Shouldn't my wife's doctor at least pay her medical bills loss of income resulting from the injury she recieved during his colon examination? Or is this a malpractive issue? |

It is certainly possible you have a case based on what you say here; you should take a brief description of these events as well as your medical records to a malpractice attorney and see if the attorney thinks you have a claim; often you need to contact several attorneys to find one to take the case; the review of your case and records is often free and then they will normally take the case on a contingency fee basis if they think you can win; you would pay only if they collect for you.

My thought is that she should not go to examination.At first,she has
to take care to her health.we can write the exam later (it may be next semester or arrears exam).So don't do any activity until restoring the healthy body and structure.
