My life is a disaster....

LG,
Take care of yourself, try to overcome this horrible period and legally fight all those who have caused you damages.
It seems that your husband and his family are on your side or that - at least - they are not against you. Rely on them and ask them for the necessary support.

Hugs

Hi all,

I saw a lawyer recently, it turned out pretty well. I did not tell him yet about the nurse who broke the hipa laws but I did talk to him about everything else, he is investigating the hospital situation and will call me back within a few days. I have a short statue of limitations on that so if there is a case (sounds like there may be or he would not be doing any work on it...), we need to move fast and file a claim.

The other case I had never thought about is a case against the known assailant. He owns a home so I could probably get a sum of money to cover medical copayments/damages from his homeowners insurance. I've never thought of suing someone..in fact it is so unlike me I cringe at the thought of it yet logically it makes sense.

I was raised to believe you should never make a quick buck off of someone by ways of a lawsuit. My parents live an uppermiddle class lifestyle by working diligently, up the chain. I never thought to walk into a lawyers office and take out a lawsuit to compensate for damages or anything else. YET, I am struggling alone to pay for my medical care for my migraines. I am not even making my rent. Now more than ever I am having more migraines and I can't for the life of me figure out how to pay for more copayments for therapy and new very needed anxiety medications. I have not yet made an appointment to see a psychiatrist simply because I cannot afford it. I am thinking to myself, "I did not do this to myself so I am not sure why I should suffer the financial responsibilities of this on top of my already extremely tight situation."

My inlaws cannot afford to help, I cannot reach out to my family as they are psycho! It is the sole reason I concider the lawsuit. I don't think I would go for more money than needed for medical, I don't need compensation for emotional distress...I would just really appreciate if the person who was responsible for this was also responsible for paying my medical bills to fix the problems cause by this.

The hospital...well, that's awareness. They fully deserve it. I don't care if I get a single dime, I just want to raise a fuss. I hope no other woman gets treated like that. Even if I did get money for that I'd make sure I would put it into funding so that crap would never happen again. I honestly don't think money taken out of the healthcare system would help at all, chances are that is where the problem is coming from. BUT proper management of what money they do have would do wonders, I think.

What do you all think? I don't have many people to talk to about this that I can trust...I value all your support and opinions..

Thank you all.

LG:

I'm glad you spoke with a lawyer. My two cents: if you have any money coming to you, invest it into your future. Whether that means counseling, pampering, or strengthening your defenses, that part is at your descretion. Take the funds and re-invest them into you.

AZgirl - good advice

Hugs, LG Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you.

LG, I hope things continue to improve for you. You certainly have been through enough ordeals for an entire lifetime.

Good thoughts coming your way,

Chris
