Still more interesting [possibly] is that when I went to see a lawyer about
possibly suing the doctors for jerking me around -- we don't have
contingency fees here for lawyers -- they told me that I could almost
definitely win the case, but I would have to pony up $35,000 for him to
even think about starting work on the case. Methinks our drs and lawyers
are in cahoots. Needless to say, I didn't sue. If only I would have been in
a low-income group, I could have gotten free legal advice, nah, probably
not for medical malpractice.
thinking that life is just not fair, but reasonably happy anyway -- today!
