To sue or not to sue?

To sue or not to sue?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Sue a few doctors probably. One hospital also. Try for some money, and to take some of their time, and cause them a little worry. Mostly, I’d hope they treat patients in the future better, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m not much of the suing type though. I’ve only sued once, a vehicle accident, and it was because when I finally decided to do something the statute of limitations was almost over, so I had to file a suit to pursue any remedy. I was pretty distraught for weeks having to sue. I really didn’t want to do it.
