Post: Hospital misdiagnosis

Posted by MKM on 11/13/15
During the month of October, I was experiencing excrutiating stomach pains. I went to my doctors office and all they did was take blood work and told me to take pepto-bismol. They also never followed up with me on when I was to take a CAT Scan. Later that night I went to a different hospital, they took my blood pressure, temperature, 2 urine sample and diagnosed me as being inflicted with UTI and gave me medication for that, in which they should would alleviate my systems. So for two days, I am taking the medication and still not feel well. By Saturday that same week, I could barely move, feeling faintish, vomiting and out of breath. Then my family took me to a better hospital, which actually listened to me, took a CAT SCAN and saw that not only did I have appendicitis, but also my kidneys were on the verge of shutting down. I spent two weeks in the hospital in which one of the days was my birthday. Also, I still have to have surgery to remove my appendix because, I had to much inflammation and absess in my stomach. My job even let me go without any notification. I have spoken to a few lawyers who agree that I do have a case. By reading this, if you agree; what would be an appropriate settlement offer?
