Doctor fired after Misdiagnosis...

My Stepdaughter suffers from Anxiety issues. Last Month,we took her to the hospital for an evaluation. After 6 or 7 hours of What felt like an interrogation,the now fired doctor diagnosed our 14 yr old stepdaughter as being suicidal. We were coerced into agreeing she be taken to a psychiatric hospital immediately. They Made her go in an AMBULANCE,causing more anxiety to our daughter,To a psychiatric hospital to be admitted for further tests.

After about ten minutes there,the psychiatric hospital staff said they saw no reason whatsoever that our daughter should have been brought there.

They wrote a letter to the original hospital that sent us there.

The doctor from the original evaluation has now been terminated.The Hospital is calling us nonstop apologizing and have even offered to cover the expenses of the ambulance transport.

My Question is this: Should I be seeking an attorney to file a lawsuit for malpractice?

Thanks,

MV
