The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

Start calling now. It shouldn't cost you anything, the attorney will want around 30% of the settlement. Don't let that stop you from signing with a good attorney. 70% of a settlement is better than 70% of zero |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26448516 I hope you get this resolved..... thank you for your concern... I karma pinned this to get more advice on this... I am responsible for my family as in I bring up my 12 year old sister in law with my wife and that isn't cheap either and aside from money I used to always be taking the lil girl out for walks and outings to help her express her feelings since her mum passed away, and she her self has suffered from this and its painful to see it day by day same for my wife as we always used to go on walks now we can't do this its a personal let down and losing my job made us homeless and we now have no stable living accommodation... |

I chose to stay quiet for so long as I had tried countless times to get back to work as it is something I enjoy but I cannot last in a job as my back gives out on me everyday and some days are so bad I need to take time of work I left bed ridden from it which I hate with a passion I know there are people who are worse of then me but it still doesn't count for the suffering I endure if its this bad for me I feel for those in worse condition then myself but in a way at least they know what is up with them selves I am left in limbo in the dark and it quite embarrassing for myself as I was always brough up in the old school way of the man being the provider now I cannot do that even though I fight hard for it I end up lacking behind and even when I go to the shops I sometimes can't make it there... I used to do MMA shooting camping running weights and now I do none of it as I can't support mself and I never know when my back will give way on me I can't shoot like that I would end up slugging some one or the recoil would jar my spine |

The hospitals here aren't hospitals anymore, they are just pits full of immigrants from the Caribbean or the Philippines. Our GPs are worse, if you can get a fucking appointment with one, they are a fucking bigger joke then the hospitals. The receptionists are just ignorant cunts, the doctors can't speak English.

| Neilh1n1 User ID: 13505769 United Kingdom03/20/2013 03:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Something pretty similar happened to me at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital whilst being diagnosed for Guillian Barre Syndrome. In a weird way the longer they took the better for me as I was becoming more an more paralysed by the minute. It fuckin hurt though. My headache lasted for a week. I thought I was dead. 1st time I've heard a similar story. My sympathy to you |

| JustJuls User ID: 4626798 United States03/20/2013 03:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a nurse with many years of bedside care in the hospital setting. If I as a nurse could not get a peripheral IV in you within 3 attempts, we are to bring another nurse in to then attempt the IV. I was always taught anything greater then 3 attempts on 1 person could be interpreted by the law as assault. Just like if you are in a hospital and told you are to only stay in your hospital room by staff for whatever reason.Lets say you decide to walk around the hospital floor outside your room but the nurses and staff block you from leaving that room.........they could be charged with false imprisonment. Not only can your wife be your witness but your best witness because she saw both the procedure and your physical decline afterward. My advice ASAP get an attorney, get a copy of all your medical records related to the situation. Also I hope you have been under an MD's care since this happened because if you are, it should reflect the decline in your health.If not get,one at once and get that lumbar puncture site examined asap with mri etc. I personally think you have a good basis to have your situation looked at by the courts. In all my years of nursing, I have never seen or heard of a lumbar puncture that brutal. Best of luck.  Just being in the moment. :) |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 36416791 United Kingdom03/20/2013 03:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What was the initial reason you went to have this procedure performed? And why did you wait so long to do anything about it? Quoting: PresidentCamacho If the physician is able to prove that this was pre-existing, your screwed. what is was, I used to work security but my wife was being rushed into hospital so I left work early and was attacked I hit my head on a brick wall, I had no lump no cut no nothing not even pain a month later I collapsed at work but didnt lose conciousness but I lost the use of the left side of my body I went to the doctors the next day who called an ambulance and I spent the night in hospital they thought it may have been a bleed on the brain the done a CT scan, it came back clear they were going to do a MRI before the lumbar puncture but they skipped ahead they still found nothing in the form of a bleed but they still passed it of as delayed head trauma... to note I had a virus of some sort a week before I collapsed and I was being over worked I was doing 15+ hours a day retail security work with a hour break split into 4 15 minute breaks through the days... also its a year on and I was aware that symptoms can persist for months after but from what I have seen and read of other cases what I'm experiencing is unusual to say the least and I have tried hard to get back into work to provide for my family but with no prevail which is why I have now decided enough is enough and plus I have been back and forth to doctors through out the year and still no closer to knowing what is going on... |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 32688435 United States03/20/2013 03:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a "wet tap" while in labor with my 2nd child. I got the "spinal headache" very shortly after and it was an absolute nightmare. I had 3 blood patch procedures to close the puncture spot but the doctor told me that I now knew what it felt like to be shot in the head. Great!!! I did consult an attorney but the consent that I signed for the epidural was comprehensive. The headaches did go away after a few weeks but the back pain did continue for quite some time. It has been over 10 years and while I am not in pain daily, my lower back is extremely sensitive which I have learned to deal with. Just rest, heat and ice alternately, and a back brace is what helped me get through it. Hope you find relief soon. |
