Honey bun, I totally hear you! you've been wronged not once but twice! And it's exceptionally hard when it's cost you so much (in particular your mom) how is it possible that a coroner could not find a time of death? Or reason? I find that highly suspicious... I know it's been some time - but it's too bad that you couldn't hire someone privately to do an autopsy - and negligence is negligence, had the facility Checked on your mother at any time there's a good chance she would still be around. I'm not a lawsuit type of girl at all, I think in many cases people sue just because they can get something out of it - they're hoping to get rich - etc... However I very much think you have a case particularly where your mom is concerned if for no other reason than to prevent it from happening to someone else's family. Your hubby's case is a little less cut and dried - as you know what he was like prior to treatment but proving the significant amount of damage done by the chemo is likely much harder. The misdiagnosis is a big wrong, but very few drs. dont make at least one mistake in their career - and most drs would rally around the one who does - knowing this. (at least that's the way it is here - they do protect eir own - and very rarely will you find a dr. Who says - that guy screwed up, and if you do it's impossible to get them to put it in writing). This is why they are almost always non committal - and offer an opinion only. You husband's company sounds like a bunch of in considerate a-holes - frankly - a job is a job but really there should be some understanding so maybe this company will be better - the good news is he's cancer free and still alive! Maybe he should start writing things down in a reminder book? Just until he moves back into normal... And he should in time. It's interesting because most chemos don't cross the blood brain barrier (body's protective mechanism) so maybe his forgetfulness is related to something else (distracted etc...) I have no doubt it's related to everything that's gone one, but memory can be trained! Please don't cry... Maybe look into perusing your moms case a little more... Or walk away and do something wonderful for your mom, like open an advocate service for the elderly who have no one... Hugs thinking about you!
