Can you sue a hospital for sending your son home saying his test were good when they were not I took him to another hospital and he was diagnosed with MRSA and has pneumonia.?
While you can technically sue anyone at any time for anything, if you have about 20 dollars U.S. (this depends on the court district), the real question is do you have cause for a malpractice case. Without knowing the details of the case and the thought process of the physicians involved in the case, no one on these boards can give you an accurate answer to this question. If you feel you have a cause for a medical malpractice case and wish to file a lawsuit against the hospital or physicians involved in this case, I would suggest that you consult a lawyer.

Finding the Legal Care You Deserve When You Are a Victim of Medical Malpractice?
When you or a loved one are injured or harmed in any way due to a physician's error, prescription medications, medical equipment or treatment then you may be a victim of medical malpractice. Victims and their family members who suffer from these situations often times are entitled to certain compensations under the law. Having a medical malpractice lawyer who is knowledgeable and experienced with handling these types of issues may be able to help you get the justice and compensation you are due.Actions to Take if you Think you May be a Victim of Medical MalpracticeThere are no two cases of medical malpractice that are exactly alike. In fact, many patients who have been a victim of a doctor's negligence, dangerous medication or faulty medical equipment do not often realize that this is the case. If you or a loved one suspect find yourself in a situation in which you are not healing correctly following a surgical procedure or medical treatment, have chronic pain or infection or have a feeling as though your symptoms are not being alleviated in a manner in which you feel they should be, there are some courses of action that you should take. The first thing that you should do is to listen to your own body. If a doctor or medical care professional has told you that you should be feeling better after a certain period of time but this is not the case, then you should consider the option of visiting another physician for a neutral opinion. If the physician makes any type of reference or gives you advice about reconsidering the previous physician's medical advice, it may be time to contact a medical malpractice lawyer for advice. Having a neutral opinion by a second medical professional will help you prove your case if it goes to court. This will also give you the ability to get proper care for your condition, which should always be viewed as the most important factor in these situations by everyone involved.Obtaining Legal Advice about Your Medical Malpractice ClaimWhen looking for a medical malpractice attorney who can provide you with the best benefits, it is important to locate someone who has specialized training and experience handling these types of injury cases. A reputable medical malpractice attorney understands the sensitivity of these cases for both the victim and their family. In the most severe cases which result in the death of a patient, the legal professional will help the family understand their rights as well to get compensation and justice for their suffering. Most medical malpractice attorneys will provide the service of a free consultation to inform them of any rights that they may have under federal, state and local ordinance laws that govern medical care. If you or your family member is unable to travel to the attorney's office, the attorney often will visit you in the hospital, your home or another care facility in which you may be staying at. The medical malpractice attorney will also let you know what course of action you may want to consider for getting the justice, compensation and treatment to provide the best overall long term outcome. A reputable and professional attorney should always stay focused on the fact that your care, health and well-being are the utmost important aspect that matters in these situations.

How do you prevent medical malpractice?
By following Best Practices within the industry, creating and following (and updating) your own Policies and Procedures, documenting everything, and running occassional internal and external audits. Your P&P should include a strong set Quality Assurance controls. Overt, accidental malpractice, being accidental, is very hard to avoid -- as it's an accident. An example that comes to mind was a nurse, recently arrived in the USA and with limited language skills in reading American English, who almost adminsitered 100 times the Heparin dose the doctor prescribed -- in her country, ampules contained a different concentration. While this is easily armchair-quaterbacked, everyone had followed policy (and equal opportunity law) in this case. So the mistake, had it occurred, would have been, if not understandable, explainable (note that existing policies are what caught the mistake too). What would have helped in a malpractice hearing is demonstrating that strict procedures have been devised, are followed, and adherence is continually monitored and evaluated. Courts and peer reviews tend to treat a simple accident far less critically than chronic negligence.

How to Prove a Medical Malpractice Suit?
Following a death or injury from medical malpractice, even if one doesn’t want to get involved with litigation, sometimes the circumstances demand it when you are faced with financial insecurity due to exorbitant medical bills, job loss, injury, death of a spouse or a myriad of other reasons. In these cases, it is helpful to know that there is a way to recoup the losses than can be replaced, taking one burden away as you grieve those losses that cannot. First, you will have to prove that you have a case. There are four factors in making up a case, and without even one, you will have no case. A lawyer who specializes in malpractice can assist you with proving Duty, Breach of Duty, Damages and Causation. Once you have a case, the burden of proof still lies on you, the plaintiff. It is important to prove a standard of care, and that a doctor acted out of the reasonable service of other professionals, or to show that a health care facility was careless in their procedures, etc. There are many specialized situations that would not so easily be black and white, even when an apparently obvious mistake was made. This is one reason talking to an attorney before you pursue a case will give you a better idea of both yours and the defendants rights. Then, all the information compiled will, in some states, go before a panel consisting usually of a judge, a lawyer and a specialist in the field, who will then review the information presented on both sides of the case and give a decision, which will then determine whether or not the case will go before a jury. This is a crucial step for having an experienced attorney, as where it goes from here will be difficult to navigate, with many possible outcomes. Filing for a malpractice suit is not easy, but at least most cases are billed on contingency, that is, billed only if a reward is recovered from the suit. Time and experience here are invaluable - the more you put into it, the more you are likely to get out of it.
