Hi all,
I am in need to speak to a Lawyer or someone who knows how legal system in Health care works here in Australia.
Story short: have been suffering from a health problem, complained to doctors a lot over the past 5 years. They Can't find the cause.
1 year ago I did research myself, pushed on doctors for an extended culture of a sample - urine. Before they performed 2-3 day culture and nothing was growing. I also tried a different lab for the extended culture with positive outcomes.
Now in two occasions they found a cause for symptoms - an infection - an organism in high concentration.
Although giving antibiotics for a short period of time not taking into account Chronic course of the desease. Doesn't really help much.
My complains are not taken into account with attempts to prescribe Antidepressant and indirectly pointing out that I am crazy.
Things are getting worse and worse with Fatigue and other nasty effects - depression, life quality low. Fever 37 . Don't want to lose job and life.
Now I have got a result recently with antibiotic sensitivity and its only Gentamycin - intramuscular antibiotic not oral. Other oral options not sensitive at all. So you have to go to the hospital for treatment…
Yet they decline that and prescribed an antibiotic from 1970s a very old one.
I need to sort that problem once and for all.
Any recommendation. How to sue the doctor for not taking my symptoms and complaints seriously? I am prepared to spend money on a lawsuit.
what is the healthcare negligence and how to prove that.
At least I want to be able to use sort of language to try to push on them…
I cant continue living like that! IT is a living hell sometimes not able to get out of bed.
I hears there is a rule of LAw here in Australia there are for sure some legal things behind the doctors.
So its just the matter how to speak properly with them.
Any pieces of advice highly appreciated.
I am a bit desperate.
Go see an actual lawyer if you think you have a case
