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

  Asked in Dallas, GA | February 23, 2026

  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.
