My mother passed four months ago and I have had the worst trouble obtaining her medical records from one of her primary doctors. I need them to send to the life insurance company, but the doctor is now telling me I must show that I have power of attorney.

My dad is also deceased and my brother and I have too little money to risk hiring a lawyer, in case we don’t get the settlement from the life insurance company after all.

my dad is having spinal surgery and im worried. i was wondering how many people have gone through spinal surgery and turned out 100% okay

My dad has been in a lawsuit for 2 years how much longer can it go for?

My dad is 62 years old and is having a hard time recovering from a spinal fusion. He quit smoking cold turkey the day he went in for surgery, which could have something to do with it. Today is day 13 and he is just now able to walk a few steps and will most likely be in the hospital a few more weeks. He is complaining of an unbearable pain in the lower right lumbar area of his back. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? An MRI shows that all the hardware and fusion looks perfect. What could be the problem?

My dad says he can’t legally give my mom custody of me. Exept through a power of attorney. I don’t understand and he won’t explain anything. If there is any other way out of this I would like those suggestions to.

Is that kind of a high price? People are telling me that it is. Also what is an average price for an attorney for a situation where a 20 year old gets a dui, (blew .22). I know I will not get off completely either way, but whatever will help. My parents are not helping me pay for it, and I don’t know exactly what I am doing, so I just don’t want to get screwed.
Another lawyer told me ,500 so I thought 00 was good. But my dad said that was a lot. What is average?
This is a retired prosecutor of the township where I got the charges, so I assume he has some experience in this…

What is the difference between DUI & DWI? Plus, my dad got his 3rd DUI how long might he be in jail? Will he get work release? Last question, my dad got a real firm judge, and his lawyer is trying to get him a different judge by saying since my dad is very german and the judge is jewish their could be prejudice, will this work?

Hi all,

I got in a car accident the other day (A person rear-ended me) and I just received the police report, stating that it was the other person’s fault for driving at an unsafe speed that he hit me. So I’m glad for that. Anyhow, I went to my dad’s friend who is a lawyer. My dad and the lawyer are as close as friends can be. But right now, I’m kind of suspicious of my dad’s motives. I’m thinking he is trying to get some money out of this car accident for himself and less (or little) for me. I have claimed injury and of course, damage to car body work. Is there a way that my dad can get some of the money for himself and leave as little for me?

It’s sad to say, but I don’t trust my dad. He is as sly as a snake and only cares for himself, not for the benefit of his kids. Even my mother is careful around him, and hence, they are divorced. So is there a possible way for my dad to pocket some of this money? Of course, I know his friend will. The deal split is 65/35. But right now, I’m just feeling a little uneasy about my dad.
i am 19 years of age sir

I am really planning to become a neurologist (the one who does surgery on the nerves, back, and spinal cord)when i grow up. im muslim and i want to help other people feel better cuz my dad had a disk herniation. I know that many people suffer from this but dont recieve help. But i am worried that a lot of people would not be comfortable enough to have surgery and have me operate on them lol. I dont see many Muslim surgeons either (women)Would you be ok with it?

The car hit me from behind at 60 mph on the freeway when all traffic ahead of me stopped.
The car is under my dad’s name and so is the insurance if that helps.

My mother and father are going through a very nasty divorce. Since I believe my father’s affair is wrong he and his girlfriend have hacked into my bank account, stolen credit cards, and have continually been harassing me and my family. I have checked into this and in Alabama there is really nothing they can do to either my dad or his girlfriend except for maybe a slap on the wrist which is time consuming, expensive and non-effefctive.
My sister and I get migraine headaches. I get them bad enough to throw up several times, and when that would happen he would inject me with either Vistoril or Phenergan, both narctotic anti-nausia drugs he had stolen from the hospital. I NEVER asked to be given either of these, and he admitted injecting both me and my younger sister in court. Unfortunately we did not have enough money to afford a stenographer. What’s the best thing I can do to prove my case?

my dad underwent a lumbar puncture, and he said the surgeon collected about eight sample of his CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), totaling some 120 drops. Is that normal?

My mom Pulled on my dad to try and help him out of the car and she messed up her sciatic nerve. Is their any kind of home remedy for this that she can do? Shes 75 years old
Thankyou!

I am at work but my dad has been having severe back problems. He couldnt move without becoming so consumed with pain he starts shaking uncontrollably and crying/feels like vomitting. And this is my dad- the macho man.

My mom called the ambulance this morning and when they got there, they came in and told him he had to walk out to the ambulance and refused to carry him out.

Despite protests, despite voicing the fact he has a severe spinal injury, despite how much pain he was in, despite the fact that these people are trained to starp people down very securely, moving them as little as possible with a neck brace if they even THINK it MIGHT be back problems, instead they forced him to walk under his own will, THEY DIDNT EVEN HELP HIM WALK! my brother had to try to carry him by himself.

What the hell? i mean seriously. I WISH MORE THAN ANYTHING I was there and this **** would not have gone down. these assholes deserve to get fired, they could have seriously messed up his back even more. the worst part is:

so maybe they couldnt fit the strecher in his room; FINE. put his arms over both ur shoulders, help him walk out to where there is room for the strecher, or BETTER YET CARRY HIS *** BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU- hes not a big guy- the shortest distance, and have the strecher READY FOR HIM! INSTEAD, THEY MADE HIM STAND THERE FOR 5 MINUITES WHILE THEY SET THE STRECHER UP after making him walk all the way out on the driveway to the ambulance- and dont be mistaken, this was a feat consideering his shaking, crying, outcries of pain when he was trying to just move his legs last night, i dont even know how he managed.

Can anyone make sense of this? i told my mom to file an official complaint in case they did make his back worse,we have official records and documentation thats how they handled it. I am feeling helpless and i really want to go up there and make sure he gets proper treatement because my mom bless her heart isnt a young strong male who wont take this kind of bullshit.

and my dad is a registered nurse at the hospital they are taking him to, i would hope they would treat one of their own better!. he didnt say anything though-and im pissed about that- because hes a stupid "proud" man or whatever and isnt going to "be a *****", but still these guys should have known better!
