Did I experience medical malpractice when I delivered my baby and can I sue?

I can’t give you any legal advise but I am so, so sorry this happened to you. While hospitals and doctors can at times provide amazing, life saving, emergency medical services— they also cause so much harm! Medical errors are #3 cause of death in US. I’ve recently been researching into these topics for my own birthing plan and it’s so scary how many women have traumatic stories like yours. The complexity of each case varies but something seemingly unique about yours is this doctor did get let go after your experience... maybe that could help your legal case. A lawyer should be able to speak with you on it, many do free consults. I hope it all works out and you are able to fully heal and be at peace.
