Should I get a malpractice lawyer on board?

[Handy Andy]

  I feel bad too. 

[DanG]

D._Frederick, I'm not sure the words exist that would express my feelings adequately, so I'll just say that I'm very, very sorry for your loss.

In answer to your original question, I'm not sure that it would be your place, as a Grandfather, to sue for damages.  That would most likely be the role of the Parents, in the eyes of the Law.  I would think that your role would be more of a supportive one, at this point, and that you should encourage them to take whatever road they consider to be the high one.  Their psychological wellbeing is the most important thing right now.  I am sure that they will be due some sort of recompense for their suffering, as well as their financial losses that they will doubtless incur.  Support and comfort them as best you can, and your ForestryForum family will do the same for you.

So sorry to hear this.  My prayers are with you and your family.

[woodhick]

Sorry for your loss and I will pray for you and your family.  I think DanG answered your first question best.

[iffy]

So sorry.

[PC-Urban-Sawyer]

D_Frederick,

Our hearts ache with the thought of what you and your family are going through. Our prayers are for your daughter and her husband, that they may have the strength to get though this difficult time. Things will never be the same but with God's blessing things will get better.

If a lawyer is needed, help your daughter get one that will look after her best interests in this case.

May the Lord grace you and your family with the ability to get past this tragedy.

What a horrible thing to endure.  I would think that one would want to know everything that led to this outcome.

[Faron]

I am so very sorry.

[Patty]

Gosh, words seem so inadequate. I am so very sorry for you and your family. 

[Roxie]

My heart goes out to you and your entire family.  May God give you peace.

[Fla._Deadheader]

 "D", know first hand, exactly what you are going through.

  Heartfelt Condolences to your entire family.

The Memorial services for our grandson  where held Saturday and my wife and I want to thank all of you that took the time to help us in our time of need.

Now for the REST OF THE STORY.

My son and his mother-in law overrode us on everything that we suggested. They were unwilling to hire a  malpractice lawyer or to have an autopsy done on the babies crushed head. They had the baby heart, eyes, and other parts donated  for other sick children to use, then had the remains cremated. All evidence of this baby ever being with us is now gone.

The death of my grandson is the direct result of a genetic defect that the mother-in-law passed along to her daughter, here pelvic bones are fused together so that they will not open up for  a child to pass through and the daughter inhered this defect. The daughter’s doctor was told of the mother-in-law’s pelvic bone not being normal, but no tests were done on the daughter.  The doctors at this OGY clinic run it like a dog and cat hospital, one doctor  is  on call 24 hours a day, so my daughter-in -law had a different doctor each day she was in the hospital. It’s a case of “ to many cooks spoiling the broth”. They loaded my daughter-in-law up with so much of the drug to bring on labor that the strong contractions forced the baby where it could not go, crushing his skull  in 9 places like a dropped egg. They require that the mother be in labor 20 hours before they are allowed to do a C-section. My grandson’s fate was sealed the moment his mother walked into that hospital.

The problem I have is that these so called doctors are going to end up with  not even as slap-on-hand and to add insult- to-injury my son is going to have to pay for it.   

[Patty]

I am so sorry D.

[Warbird]

Us, too.  We are with you.

[Shotgun]

D,

Prayers and moral support from NW Michigan. Sorry for your dilemma.
