Did they violate my rights??
Answers: Medical malpractice is difficult to prove. Your burden of proof will be twofold. One, did the shot inflict you enduring physical harm or financial loss? This is a requirement. Temporary distress doesn't count. Two, can you prove it was the shot and nothing else that be going on with your body?
Since you don't give us much detail, we can't know if the surgery could enjoy been performed in need the shot, but it's a rare patient who can manipulate surgical pain without anesthesia--and logically you have to be completely still during surgery, unlike childbirth. We also don't know if your doctor's best judgment which lead to the shot allowed for your apparent pain or inability to breed informed decisions due to the pain or other drugs you'd be given.
I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt you have a lawsuit. A phone bid to a lawyer might prove me wrong, of course. Attorneys dispense way better legal counsel than the YA community in general..
unhappily, if the doctors rule that the shot is necessary for you to have to treat an existing condition, you hold no law suit, when you go contained by for surgery you are basically placing your life contained by the hands of the surgeons and are entrusting them to make the right decision with your life.
however, if you hold complications that arise, like a secondary infection due to surgical procedures or malpractise you may enjoy a law suit.. i suggest you talk to a advocate but they will probably advise you to let it travel. What type of surgery did you have? Sometimes the Anesthesiologist will do a Spinal Block for surgeries done on the lower part of the body, this will comfort with pain nouns for a few hours after the surgery. Perhaps your Doctor that was doing the surgery didn't pass the information along to the Anesthesiologist almost your feelings regarding the shot surrounded by your back. .
How did they give you an epidural short your consent?
You have to sit up and hold still for them to do it.
Is this just an unforced way to get megabucks?
I scrounging, filing malpractice and winning a suit will achieve you a lot of money.
But I'm sure you know this already...
My apologies, I misread your question. I inconsiderately thought you said it was for labor..
Although you did tell them "No" which they should listen to and respect your wishes, deliberate back to the paper work you signed. If you said "Yes" within the paperwork, even by accident that could override your verbal no, and not bequeath you a chance in court. You can sue anyone, for anything, contained by any amount, anytime as long as you can afford it...
you could've told them no entirely.
unless they gave it to you without your go-ahead, then yeah.
otherwise sue the crap out've them.
LAWSUIT! Yes they violated your rights, no question roughly it. Make them pay for your suffering.
