Thanks guys. I feel... tired and defeated already. Part of me wants to just let it go. Another part of me wants to fight. But the tired part of me won't let it. I also partially feel like it doesn't matter. Like... it was just a tragic and unfortunate thing but not anybody's fault. I keep replaying some of the things I think went wrong but they would be a he said/she said kind of fight. I'm not paying this lawyer anything so I get the idea he just doesn't care because he doesn't see this winning anything. He wants slam dunks. It all just makes me stop wanting to continue. I'm busy. Isaac is on the move. I have too much to keep up with as is. So, what if I find another lawyer? And then what if I lose? Idunno... it's nearly 3 am and I'm rambling.
Point is, if I were on the outside of this situation I'd tell myself the same things you are all saying. But from my pov, I'm not even sure it's worth it.
I do want my records, and I'm beyond pissed that I don't have them yet.
Hugs. I understand why you are tired. I think you might be surprised how fast a motivated attorney could get those records. Then, once you know what is in them you could make a decision to move forward with a lawsuit or accept it as a tragedy. And I know lawyers can be expensive, but not always. And if, for now, it is simply a matter of getting the records to make a decision, it might be money well worth your peace of mind to move forward one way or another.
If you have a record of all the times you have requested the records, you can file a grievance I am sure because it does violate patient rights etc. Do you have a family doctor that could request them? They may be less likely to block another doctor.
Now I'm rambling. Hugs and support, whatever you decide.
