Still trying to correct the ankle that doc screwed up. She was fitted with an Arizona brace last week, a leather thing to support her bad ankle and fits in her shoe. Her doc said that her bones are deteriorating in both feet and in 3 mo he wants to get her rt ft fitted for a brace.
We saw our family dr on unrelated stuff and I told him what the xpert said and told him he hadn't xrayed her ankle in 4 months but somehow suddenly knew that her bones were deteriorating in both feet, never having xrayed her rt ft. I told him I felt the other dr was trying to coverup his partners screw up and that he was simply gouging her med card. He ordered more xrays. Results are the ankle is badly damaged from the other drs screw up, and the bones are FINE, NO DETERIORATION. He's been lying to us. Patty hurts a lot and can't walk far, pain is worse at night.
I swore I wouldn't do it but after Christmas I'm going to see a lawyer. We've spent so much on gas for these apts, over 100 miles round trip, that it has really hurt us. From what I hear if we would get anything the state would want reimbursed for all the treatments, and rightly so. Problem is that I fear Patty would lose her med card and that would sink us. Prayers appreciated. Charlie.
