I'm just gonna hop in here to vent quick, since it's a random jibber jabber thread. Doctors, man - I go to one, and she tells me this one thing is wrong and that I need to see a physical therapist...so I go see the PT and she tells me the doctor had it wrong, it's this other thing going on and I need to do these excercises...well, they don't work so I end up in urgent care where they take XRays and proceed to tell me BOTH the doctor and the PT were wrong.

And then I get a bill for a thousand fucking dollars.

America, where even if you're a shitty doctor who gets nothing fucking right, you can charge people a thousand dollars to tell them the wrong shit.

Oh no, I got another bill (for some reason the hospital sends one and a doctor's service sends one, I'm guessing because of urgent care) for another few hundred. But the urgent care one I'm not bitching about so much because at least they took XRays and you know...looked for the problem before pronouncing what was wrong with me and what to do.

Advanced degenerative disc disease had caused a compression in my spine, which was in turn pinching a nerve...and still is, because the doctor ALSO never gave me that referral to the spine specialist. I'm very seriously considering just refusing to pay them on principal.

Can I counter sue for providing bad medical advice? If I had kept on the excercises the PT set me to doing, I could have damaged myself forever, because the PT thought it was some sort of muscle strain from sitting poorly, and had me compressing the nerve even more with a series of stretches and "therapies".

No, I'm not kidding, they advised me to do something that could have ruined use of my right arm for life...and still want me to pay a thousand dollars.

You can most always negotiate a better bill with hospitals. Doctors, not so much. It wouldn't hurt to call and tell em you do not feel you should have to pay for improper diagnosis.

Can you sue? I suppose you could sue, the question is can you win? There is no apparent long term harm due to malpractice so prob. not.
I am no attorney tho.

Bro.....dont you pay those fucks!!!! put on your Lawyer shoes and just tell them like it is...fuck that noise.. I went in to see a ortho specialist for shoulder reconstruction.....I was told up front how much my ins would pay and how much I was responsible for...and they wanted my part up front...so I paid my portion. Four weeks after surgery,,I receive another bill for 5k more....I thought..hmmmm must be some mistake...so I called on it....billing clerk says nope ..no mistake...surgery ran 2 hrs longer then expected......I came un fucken glued. I went to my follow up and I didnt talk to billing personell...I talked to the surgeon himself and told him straight up he was not getting a dime more outa me.....that bill went away bro.....sometimes you just got to show your teeth a bit....so I can totally relate!

You can but you need to speak with a Lawyer that specializes in wrongful injury and they can determine if there is a case. Let me share a bit what happen to us with my brother. He went in to the ER very ill...he had been telling me he was not feeling well....so he goes in....they examine him ....send him home with some meds to reduce water retention....he was swelling up.....two weeks later my brother passes away.....you want to know what the findings were for cause of death....congestive heart failure with other complications.....because the report said other complications...we were unable to sue....or at least advised by 4 different attorneys that we would not win....soooooo its fucked.....I miss my brother so much....and it was thier fuck up....they should have ran certain tests....it would have told them that his ticker was enlarged

My sympathies. I was floored when my older brother died a few years ago, but he died rather suddenly from a brain aneurysm and there was no one to blame.

Oh, and no worries about the whole your post/my post thing, we all share these boards man and this ain't my thread, so no apologies are needed.
