My sister had brain surgery a year ago June of 2009 and her recovery has never happened. She cannot eat, work, or participate in any activities without oxygen. Basically her life has been ended and she exists in constant pain, hears voices, music, and crying babies. She can't even enjoy having a bite to eat or drink without gagging. The brain surgeon Chad Morgan with Cox Medical Centers in Springfield, MO is who did this to her. He screwed her up and left her basically a vegetable with no quality of life and refuses to even see her in his office or return her calls begging him to help her fix what he has done to her. The state of Missouri has these "caps" put upon trying to sue for malpractice as it is total protection for Doctors who ruin peoples lives with their lack of care or concern of what they did to their patient. Anyone have any idea how we can at least get compensated for his mistakes so she can at least pay her huge bills and have something to live on as she cannot work anymore. If you had to watch your sister live as she has to live now compared to her life before and were left helpless as to what to do about it what would you do? I now live with her and care for her as best as I can as I myself have Multiple Sclerosis and am limited as to what I can and cannot do. Someone please have the mercy and care to help with this issue as to what we can do. Thank you and God bless all the people besides us who are having to deal with these kinds of horrible incidences!

Contact a medical malpractice attorney. You can look through the phone book or try an online site like FindLaw.com or Martindale-Hubbell (martindale.com). Alternatively, you could contact the Missouri State Bar Association and ask for a referral to a med mal attorney. Most attorneys have free consultations, so it won't cost you anything to contact them.
A word of advice: just because the recovery didn't happen as intended doesn't necessarily mean there was any kind of malpractice involved. It would help if another doctor has said that the at-fault doctor did something wrong, or if you had any proof of wrongdoing.
