Question : Does anyone know of a medical malpractice lawyer or law m.d. in Boston...Preferably a female???
Question Details: I had a baby 9months ago and seriously can't get over the horrible experience. I have never sued or brought legal action against anyone. It would take me alot more than this paragraph to explain the whole situation-but its very complicated with several different issues. Basicly as a result I feel like my life is ruined. I have a beautiful healthy baby but can't move past everything....I know i'm being vague but any referrals or assistance you can give would be great. Also if anyone knows if there are any online groups or boards w/other people seeking action against their Ob or MD i would love to speak to others. Part of the problem is the serious emotional distress that accompanied this whole mess-i'm actually ashamed to say i thought most people claiming this weren't being honest-but now see malpractice in a whole new light. I guess because our society is so "lawsuit" happy I had trouble allowing myself to truly believe that I was not treated correctly. Thanks so much.

i'm not from the boston area, but i would recommend you contact the massachussetts bar association. they have a referral service. most often, you will only do a consultation over the phone free of charge. they'll tell you if they want you to come in if they feel you have a good case. that being said, almost all medical malpractice suits involve serious misconduct or neglect by the hospital and/or provider. psychological issues may not fly unless you've undergone extensive counseling (or can otherwise demonstrate this distress -- loss of job, etc) due to some serious (and unusual) circumstances caused by the hospital (or doctor). they're an extremely expensive form of litigation and most attorneys aren't going to help you unless you've got a strong case, money to finance it yourself or they're in a large firm that can afford to pay upfront costs. but again, unless you're case is a strong one, you're unlikely to get a big cash payoff, which throws into question the point of pursuing litigation. the attorney you speak to may only recommend that you file a complaint with the medical board in your state. it may not sound like much, but at least you can know your concerns will be documented with the right people. good luck
