My great uncle ( My Dad's Uncle) has recently been in rather bad health. He had a kidney stone that got "stuck". When he went in the hospital, they put a stint in his heart. There wasn't anything wrong with his heart and he didn't need it.. Well, then after that, they tried to discharge him, they hadn't even looked into his kidney stone problem. (4got to tell you, the reason the put the stint in his heart is because of a blood-work mix-up) Anyway, we pointed out that they hadn't looked a t his kidneys...THEN, they put a stint in his kidneys...
Two days later, they discharged him... Well, my family and I were staying in his house while he was in the hospital (We live about 100 miles away) When he came home, my mom and I came home, my dad stayed.. Uncle Gene started peeing blood, he thought it was fine, he let it go for a few days, about 3 days later, he is still peeing blood, so he calls his doctor, the dumb, redneck doctor told him that it would be ok and that he would see him in 2 weeks! Well, my dad went back up there today. As soon as he got there, he noticed that Uncle Gene had been bleeding more than he was telling us...So now, they are on their way to the doctors office...
My dad told me that my both him and my uncle want me to find out how to file Medical Malpractice.... How do they? What type of lawyer do we need? We want to file malpractice for two reasons, 1)They put a stint in his heart that wasn't needed. 2) They obviously f*kd something up inside him because now, a week later, he is still bleeding.......Thanks,-Jaden
P.S. Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital is who did all this....

You need an attorney who handles "personal injury" and "medical malpratice" matters. Some general practice attorneys handle this sort of matter, but many do not, and they should be able to provide recommendations.

Talk to any lawyer and they will lead you to someone who can help. Sorry for all the trouble... I hope your uncle's okay.
