Back in 2002 my brother had a kidney transplant, that of
which was perfectly healthy AND a perfect match, that was
donated by our living, breathing niece. He had many doctors
on his case, all with different courses of action to take
regarding any aftercare. Through the years he has been
plagued with one problem after another, and it has only
been since this transplant. One doctor viewing his medical
records kept shaking his head and flat-out told my brother
that none of these things should have EVER happened to him,
and guaranteed if he did the next transplant that it would
NOT happen again. Fast forward to today...he is on the
transplant list for another kidney, and has been for almost
3 and a half years now and it has been brought to light
that the kidney that our niece donated was killed due to
overmedication, and we now hear that the transplant center
where he had the first transplant has been shut down. Now
he may also need a heart transplant in addition to another
kidney. There really are too many complications to list
here. My question...what is the statute of limitations in
California for medical malpractice? This just does not seem
right that my brother and the family have gone through
absolute HELL due to something that truly was a result of
doctors in medical practice. Now we know why they call
it "PRACTICE". Any response will be welcomed. Thank you.
