I need help. I was getting a TCA peel done at one of those med spas to help with some scarring I had when I was a kid. I was told a doctor would be doing this numerous times, which is why I paid $ 300. Turns out an esthetician was doing it and a poorly trained one at that. While she was putting it on some got into my eyes. I said it was burning my left eye but she wouldnt stop putting it on my face! So finally I stood up and she dumped it on me as well. I went to the optometrist later that day and then to an opthamologist soon after. All I wanted was my exams and antibiotics paid for (which I dont think was unreasonable). Now they're denying it ever happened at their clinic, even though I have doctors statements saying otherwise. I'm thinking about getting a lawyer, as I've racked up about $ 1000 with specialists, not to mention I have corneal scarring and basically no tear production in my left eye. Heres the part I'm asking about, in the file I saw the girl write down that I had been injured in my eye and that she sent me immediately to the doctor. Now that part of my file is, "unable to be accessed." So I made a formal request for all of my file but surprise, surprise, no hand written documentation of my eye injury or even what I was having done there. Basically just my sign in sheet (name, d.o.b, address, etc.) and my contract. They're claiming that they sent the file within the 30 day limit and they've done nothing wrong. I thought you had to send someone their entire file no matter what. Anyways, does anyone know what I should do? Arent there laws about this or are these rules just not really enforced? Any help would be really appreciated.

You need an attorney. The sooner the better.

Hire an attorney and sue them on a negligence/medical malpractice claim. You'll be able to get the documents in discovery if it gets that far.
