What kind of lawyer do I need for a healthcare issue?
I’m currently expecting and had lab work done in April for several things including STDs. I recently moved & had to get a new OBGyn. My new provider requested my lab results from my previous provider and received one that said I tested positive for an STD. Immediately after receiving this result my new provider submitted a prescription for me and had someone from her office call me to explain the results. After speaking with my new provider I was informed these results should have been relayed to me long ago. I’m almost due and had I not received these results I would have been putting my baby at risk. This has caused me an incredible amount of distress and I want to do something about this legally but I’m unsure if I have a case or what kind of lawyer I would need. Going through the Texas Referral Service I got connected with medical malpractice lawyers but they said they could not help. Is there anything that can be done? I’m extremely stressed over this situation and I’m getting tested again to verify the lab results.
