Question About Miscarriage Posted: 04-27-05 18:30pm
My best was spotting and went to see the
doctor, and booked the earliest
appointment. What I didnt know is that
she saw a nurse, not her doc, and her
nurse said she'd be fine that it was just
light spotting. A few days
later--bam--miscarriage. Her cousin
thinks its mal-practice and she can
sue...My question is, would she be able to
sue on mal-practice?

I think so. I mean she didnt see a doc,
but nurses have malpractice insurance too.
Have her call an attorney and see what
they say.

Okay...I got some more information that
might help: the nurse told her that he was
the doc.

Ooh, yeah, someone is getting in trouble!
I mean, if it was just a misdiagnosis,
ok, malpractice will still cover that.
But, if the nurse should have referred her
to a doctor and didn't, that is major
malpractice, and if he lied about being a
doctor? Well, he can be sued for many
different things there!
I'm sorry your friend had to go through
this. That really sucks, but good luck.
