How long do you have to open a malpractice suit?

nalv420 asked:


Over a year ago I was misdiagnosed in WV with galbladder stones. I was so sick that I flew home to FL with a fever of 103 and they found out my kidneys were filled with fluid that contained MRSA. The doctor who reviewed my CT scan sent from up north had made a quiet comment that the previous doctor who saw me up north should have caught that.

I know that no doctor would testify another doctor (which I respect), but if the CT scan clearly shows my kidneys filled with fluid, can I try to sue?

I’m quite sure I would have gone into septic shock and died had I not been admitted that night.
Who are you to assume I didn’t suffer? Being hospitalized for a month with drains to my kidneys and a PICC line for IV treatment at home for over a month after that THATS DAMAGE to me. I have a post traumatic stress disorder of getting it again, THATS DAMAGE.
