MRI & Eye Disorder

[jimoerike]

This TV Commercial local in Spokane, WA. About MRI & all kinds of symptoms, I have had half a dozen MRIs within a two years period several years back, they were looking for the reason for an unexplained inflammatory redness along my spine lower back, several MRI s  Spokane VA Hospital, Deaconess Hospital two or three failed biopsies, finally sent to VA hospital in Seattle.. MRI Then Biopsy then they found a deadly virus  hiding home making in a fracture in lower spine lower Lombard. I was given a pick- line & 12 weeks inner-vein anti-bio tics to be rid of virus.
Since then my eye sight has been getting worse & worse. I'm wondering if this is a cause to get a hold of those lawyers that have been trolling for MRI dye & other symptoms of such victims?

my decision has been amped by your obvious abilities to see reality as it is.
i have no ill means toward my doctors nor their ways, only if the dye used in some way is responsible for eye damage.. apparently not.  thank you..

I agree with Quix. The lawsuits are aimed at those who are truly injured by a physician because of poor medical practices. The fact that you are still here despite less than perfect biopsies is not a reason to pursue litigation. Life is not perfect and nobody can guarantee that we will all have perfect health.  

I work in this field. Save yourself some time and trouble. You are here, even with worsening eyesight, and that's something you need to count on the plus side.

Unless you have proof of a direct connection between worsening eyesight and the care given, my opinion would be not to pursue it. Remember this not legal advice, just my opinion.

Good luck with your decision. I hope your health remains good and the eyesight stays stable.

Let me get this straight.  You had a deadly infection.  It took many MRIs and biopsies to finally determine this.  So, you were treated, and presumably the infection was cleared. And now, several years down the line your eyesight is worsening.

If you had been given the option of dying versus living, but suffering worsening eyesight several years later, which would you have chosen?

To my knowledge damage to the eyesight is not known to be associated with the use of MRI contrast.  The connection between the two would have to be established.  There are many reasons for eyesight to be worsen.

Personally, I think malpractice (personal injury) suits should be for those who actually had "mal" practiced upon them.  It seems that your life was saved, and you have a condition that could have been caused by any number of things.

I agree that the term "trolling" is appropriate for the lawyers who feel that someone should pay if anything bad happens to anyone.  Life has risks.
