I was in the hospital in January for about a month. I had a really swollen and painful leg, which turned out to be compartment syndrome. The first hospital I went to didnt do any tests or anything when there was clearly something wrong with me, sent me home and told me to call back in 2 days if i wasnt better. I went to another hospital the next morning, turns out my kidneys were failed and I had to be cut open in 3 places in my leg. They said the last 12 hours were critical and now I have permanent damage in my leg because I wasnt treated sooner. We are suing the first hospital for malpractice and finally now the lawyer said the case should be filed by July 1st. Then the hospital will decide if they want to settle out of court or not, which they probably will. Im just wondering how long until I can expect a settlement check?

It IS REALLY HARD TO SUE A DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL THIS COULD TAKE YEAR'S TO SETTLE GOOD LUCK!!!
