:
: I am a victim of medical negligence,after having an operation on the lower spine where they removed the sacrum bone.I feel nerves may have been severed.I was 19 at the time I am now 23.I was going to attend university but now cannot.I am more or less housebound.I havent been able to get medical treatment from my own doctors since my operation,and since Ive been suing, the medical experts I have seen have just taken my legal aid money at a thousand pound a time, with biased unfavourble reports.My first solicitor dropped my case with one of these reports and I had to appeal to get my legal aid back.I have a new solicitor and barrister but I cannot find a favourable expert witness.My case may be dropped,and I will not be able to get medical treatment still because my own doctors do not want me to get any evidence and will not show me any test results or give medication.I am very ill now and really do need medical help.can you advise or help?
: from Jessica.
Answer: This is complicated. It sounds as if you are in a British Commonwealth jurisdiction. Please have your lawyer contact me directly.
