• Incorrect spacing on implants. Never told they removed one out of three. Gave me a faulty bridge, now I have no teeth!

  Asked in Roanoke, VA

  Charged my insurance for crowns that I never received. Charged for teeth cleaning that I never received. Charged for the implant that was taken out. Have had a couple of second opinions to confirm there wasn't enough space. Missing work due to appointments with other dental professionals and having to pay for their services in hopes of this getting fixed. It has caused humiliation because the bridge fell out several times before it fell out, and it was unable to find it. I now have a lisp and look terrible. I'm disfigured looking now and can't eat normal things. Has cost over 22000, and it's still costing me money. And I have to keep my face covered because I was a guinea pig. Can I sue?

• My mom suffered a stroke due to blood clot from her leg stemming from a misdiagnosed stomach cancer. Case or no?

  Asked in Greensboro, NC

  My mother suffered a stroke due to a blood clot from her leg that stemmed from a misdiagnosed stomach cancer which had metastasized to her liver. The cancer was an incidental finding from a CT scan that was done when she was admitted to the hospital for the stroke. The CT scan was done because after blood work, she was noted to have a hemoglobin of 5 and Doctor wanted to see if she had a bleed somewhere.

• Botched eye surgery and cataract removal causing day blindness, need representation. Doctor lied on operator report?

  Asked in Bakersfield, CA

  I am a 53-year-old school district custodian with 28 years of service who was coaxed into an unnecessary surgery to remove a 26-year-old implantable collamer lens (ICL) and replace it with a cataract lens. During the procedure, part of my eye was injured, and an iris prolapse occurred. While the surgeon verbally admitted this complication to me and my 30-year-old son, it was entirely omitted from the official operative report, which falsely claimed "no complications."

  A surgical suture leak was identified but improperly managed with an undersized bandage contact lens (BCL), allowing the eye to remain decompressed for 10 days until a larger BCL was finally applied. This series of events resulted in permanent iris prolapse, severe iris thinning, and debilitating day blindness, reducing my best-corrected vision in my surgical (left) eye to 20/80 and my right eye to 20/150. Other ophthalmologists have since reviewed my case, deemed the surgery too high-risk for corrective action, and only provided DMV paperwork, because I am now completely unable to drive or work.
