I took my daughter to her primary care physician and he told me that someone had been touching my daughter inapproiately and there was no other expanation. I then took her to a dermatologist for a second opinion who said the bumps she has on her genitals are a virus and he would not be so worried if her hymen was still incontact. So they both said that SRS needed to be called, so I went home called the sheriffs office who set up an apptointment for my daughter to see a forsenic doctor which these kinds of cases is all she dealt with. But It was not until 3 days later. 3 days of h**l, 3 days of lost work, I know that this does not sound like a lot to a doctor. But imagine the life changing information that he just blurted out his mouth. The forensic doctor told me her hymen is still in contact and in excellent shape. Was not sure why a dermatologist would think that he had seen enough of them to make a decision like that. So tell me do I have grounds to sue him?

  1. Wow, not sure, you might want to consult with a lawyer on that one.  What were the bumps, did anyone find out?  Were they a virus?  Or just bumps that were some kind of irritation, caused from something not related to being touched inappropriately?  I believe that would be something that a lawyer would consider.


  2. You can sue anyone but that doesn't mean you will win. Doctors stick together and it would be hard to find one who said the Dr was wrong and should have to pay. Drs make mistakes, that's why they have malpractice insurance but I doubt you would win if you sued. Be glad your daughter is ok and get on with your life. You can talk to an attorney but I think s/he would tell you the same thing I just did. A mistake was made, they are made everyday. Sorry but if it were me I would forget it. I know you are angry but that will pass and yes you missed work but Mothers who work and have kids sometimes have to sacrifice for the child. Forget it.

  3. Yeah, I agree with the other girl. Lawyers usually do free consultations, so you should really look into that.

    In the meantime, though, you should be more then grateful that your daughter is unharmed.
