Could this become a lawsuit

[Guest guest]

I don't post here much but I do keep an eye on the board sometimes. I

still have not made the plunge yet but was just trying to make

appoinments at JRI today and was confronted with insurance questions

and this got me thinking. If I have foot the bill for this, it could

be quite the payment plan.

I'm fairly postive and doctors I've talked to in the past have

indicated to me that the whole reason I have pain and need to have my

hip operated on now at 36 is because of a podiatrist in San Francisco

I was seeing for a few years gave me too many cortizone injections in

my left foot. I was wondering if I would have any legal grounds for a

case against this doctor. Its been years since I've seen him but I

remember one of the last times I saw him I had told him that I had

just been diagnosed with AVN and I was drinking heavily, on vicodin,

prozac.....I was a mess and he didn't say anything. I've still got

that ailing foot as well as bad hip now too. Now that I am educated

about the dangers of cortizone, I know that he knew what he had done

that day and man does that bug me still.

What do you guys think?
