Suing does not reverse a mistake or change the future. We filed a report with Patient Experience and told the ordering doctor, but have no way of knowing whether this reached the Radiology staff. Mistakes happen and you either waste time trying to return to where you were or grow stronger and more informed and move forward. We have found that moving forward and realizing doctors etc. are people too and they make mistakes. My husband had been told by his kidney specialist to never have contrast, but they talked him into it because their tests showed it would be "safe". We choose to look at this as both sides made a mistake and both sides paid a price. One in health issues and the other in the emotional freight. This just pointed out to us that you need to question any medical personnel and feel comfortable nothing is being overlooked. Appreciate all the prayer we get. Thank you.
