Would you press charges against a Veteran primary care doctor who lied to you?

Talk to an attorney, Useful. You can sue any time. The question is always, "Can you win?"

You have to prove negligence. Doctors are allowed to be wrong. AND you have to be able to prove that you damaged by said negligence.

Fraud??? Even if there was a misdiagnosis, how is it fraudulent?

I would trust a veteran primary doctor before a doctor who will tell you what you want to hear.

No, that's not fraud. Maybe malpractice, but even that might be a stretch.

Get your patient the help needed, there is little time to look back, trying to remedy someone else that did not do their job properly. IMOP

Is this doctor the same doctor from your posting a year ago? Just curious. https://www.agingcare.com/questions/what-do-you-do-when-a-doctor-lies-on-you-170352.htm
