I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you believe your son's rights were violated by a doctor. Here's what you can do:
- File a complaint with the Iowa Board of Medicine.
- Consult with a medical malpractice attorney.
Please note, time limits (statute of limitations) apply to this kind of lawsuit.
I cannot file a complaint as they will not give me my son's medical record to that situation the doctor admitted what he did but that does not help me and my family
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. In Iowa, the law provides you the right to access your son's medical records. Consider these steps:
- Request in writing for the records.
- If denied, file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
- Consult with a healthcare attorney for further advice.
I do not know the doctor's name
I understand your situation. You don't need to know the doctor's name to request medical records. The request should be sent to the hospital or medical facility where your son was treated. They are obligated to provide you with the records.
