No way of telling from this post. get your medical records
and take them to an attorney who specializes in medical
malpractice. They will have nurses and doctors review your
records to ascertain whether you have a malpractice case.
It sounds like someone missed something from your post, but
impossible to say whether or not its a viable case without
more info. good luck.
