I feel I have a lawsuit against my local hospital. Let me know if you agree....
I went in to the ER very sick, horrible headache. They performed a spinal tap to rule out meningitis. They took 4-5 vials of spinal fluid (i was told that is too much). They ended up admitting me for about 5 days. The day i was discharged they told me I was fine it was just a sinus headache. I explained to them i was still in excruciating pain with a headache, They told me it was a reboun headachr from the pain meds. I didnt agree but I went home anyways. Within 24 hours my back began to hurt. I decided to get outta bed for the first time since i been home and within seconds my head began to fall to my left shoulder and both my shoulders tensed and pulled up as well as excruciating pain once again. Went to another local ER and they also admitted me but this time for a week and ahalf. I saw at least 10 diff dr's. Some said my spine was leaking fluid from the tap some said it wasn't. They'd order tests then cancel them. I was put on meds for a day or two by one dr then taken off by another dr. They never put my allergy bracelt on until 2 days AFTER i was admitted. I then had to have a AWFUL procedure done (spine patch) to fix the problem which was order then cancelled then finally done a week later. I was able to go home the next day. All in all I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and 2 days and missed 4 weeks of work. I only had time to call one law office but I'm beginning to think no one will represent me. One law office explained a spine patch is a possibility after a spine tap is done, but what i went through i think is wrong. Does anyone else agree or am I just gettin my hopes up?

if the legal eagles won't take ur case ur pretty much SOL. Whether the Hosp was wrong or not is immaterial at this point. You can go to opinion sites and dis them but that is about your only recourse that I know of. You might call the state health dept. but I doubt you get any traction there either.

You can spend your money if you want but you are up against high tech attorneys and big bucks that hospitals can put up. I'd not waste time on it.
It really doesn't look like much of a valid case anyway.
