Of course, and most likely he should be sued. But it is not a guaranteed win. The medical profession acknowledges that some tubal ligations reverse themselves somehow without it being the fault of the doctor. More than likely it is the doc's fault, but it is not so in every case.
Pregnant After Tubes Burned?Unlikely. A recent study (the Collaborative Review of Sterilization, or CREST, study) looked at 10,000 women who had undergone tubal ligation and found 143 failures (a failure rate of 1.4 percent). It can be higher when a tubal is done at the time of a C-section. The failure rate also tends to increase the longer it has been since one had a tubal ligation. The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization (CREST) found the failure rate for tubal ligation (all occlusion methods) to be 1.85% after 10 years.Here are other answers and opinions from Wiki s contributors:Yes, anything is possible. I personally knew someone who concieved a healthy child after she was tied and burned.Yes, it is possible to get pregnant after having your tubes burned. I had my tubes tied in 2000. I had a modified Pomeroy procedure done (with cauterization). I now have a healthy, happy 5-month-old baby boy five years after having my tubal ligation! If you think you might be pregnant after a tubal ligation, see your doctor immediately. Women who conceive after having a tubal ligation have a greater chance of an ecoptic pregnancy, which can be a life treatening condition.Yes, you can get pregnant. My mother had her tubes tied and burned when I was born in 1983, I now have a happy, bubbly 5-year-old brother!It is not common, but still is very possible. Even after a vasectomy some women (that do not cheat) will still become pregnant. This is how doctors get sued.
A doctor can be sued for breaking doctor/patient confidentiality.
You can always be sued. In such a situation, your wife will probably sue you for divorce, and the pregnant woman will probably sue you for child support.
Yes he did.
Since you are only 15 years old and not a legal adult, you can not be sued, but your parent/legal guardian can be sued.
Anyone who is sued is allowed to testify at trial for a calim against him or her.
Yes. Its called doctor patient confidentiality. Doctor can lose license and be sued if she / he violates it. Recognized in all 50 states.
<b>Doctors are not allowed to tell anything to anyone that you don't want them to tell. It is confidential!</b> A doctor could be sued for removing a splinter from a 14-year-old's finger without the parent's permission. But if a 18-year-old wants an abortion, he is not allowed to inform the parents. You figure out how we got laws like this.
Of course YES because someone can lose his/her life through.
PSC is a business designation of Professional Services Corporation. It is a legal designation that means that the doctor is representing himself as a business. The designation helps protect personal assets in case the doctor is sued for malpractice.
If the doctor's care for the patient is relevant to the malpractice suit, then the doctor may testify regarding his patient's care to the extent it is relevant and necessary to defend himself. The patient essentially waives the doctor/patient privilege when he sues his doctor
American cities can be sued
