• Have a friend with a daughter. Doctors misdiagnosed ear infection and ended up removing partial brain matter. Malpractice?

  Asked in Dallas, GA

  They removed part of her brain matter when they were told not to do so, when they misdiagnosed the medications beforehand, and as I said, it's been some years, and she's been taking care of her daughter for years. There's no kind of time for her; it's a burden for her; she can't do it, and she needs help.

  Asked in Atlanta, GA

What exactly qualifies as malpractice in Georgia? Does it include things like not following proper hygiene standards?
