When a person is injured by their trusted doctor or medical team in New York City, they may not know exactly where to turn for legal help. In the absence of knowing where to go and who to call, just like in many challenging real-life situations, New York City medical malpractice victims take to internet forums, chat rooms, and social media support groups to search for answers to their pressing questions about what to do next after being seriously injured by a doctor. One such medical malpractice victim who claims that she was injured by her plastic surgeon did just that, and her post on Reddit is an example of just one of the questions medical malpractice victims have after being injured by their doctor or medical team.
A Reddit user by the name of “dgirl10” posted on the Reddit forum “Legal Advice” asking about what to do next after she was seriously injured by her plastic surgeon in New York City. Dgirl10 explained in her post entitled NYC Medical Malpractice, “I’m attempting to find a lawyer who can help me file a medical malpractice case. This doctor is a plastic surgeon and I engaged him to fix complications from a previous non-surgical procedure. Unfortunately [sic] the only fix for the effects from this procedure was surgery which I wanted to avoid.” Dgirl10 went on to describe that she felt pressured by her medical team to forward with the plastic surgery procedure, despite hesitations and her desire to cancel the procedure. In addition to going through with the procedure after feeling pressured by the plastic surgeon’s office, dgirl10 then described that she believed that her doctor “did not perform two very important aspects of the surgery that in all of my consultations he told me he would be doing,” that she was “left with the surgical nurses who neglected to bandage my incisions, and when I was helped into my surgical garment, fluid and blood began gushing from each of the areas that were stitched,” and that she, ultimately, suffered from an infection from the surgery. Dgirl10 stated, in sum, “I feel the extreme neglect of this office was not only infuriating but it almost cost me my life. I tried working out a settlement with the office directly but they refused so I am looking for representation to move forward.”
