My friend went in for 1/2 hour outpatient procedure. When she woke up it was over 24 hours later with major surgery. spent many days in icu and missed a lot of work. The doctor made a mistake somewhere along the line. She does not want to put the doctor through the ringer, she understands it was a mistake. She does want her medical bills taken care of and I told her to get a little more to help with a mortgage, couple hundred thousand, not millions. So the question is would it be better to deal with the (doctor, hospital) or talk to a lawyer who will want to get a settlement for millions so he can make a lot of money and drive up insurance costs?
