My fiancée and I visited a fertility clinic * weeks after she had an operation on her ovary. The team there did an ultrasound and found two large cysts on her ovary, but they did not inform us of that. Just a day later, we had to go to the ER due to a high post op fever. It turns out, my fiancée has an abscess near her surgical sight. I’m wondering if the fertility clinic is somehow liable or if they did something wrong by knowing that cysts were there, not informing us of them, and letting us leave.
I'm sorry to hear about your fiancée's situation. In Colorado, medical professionals can be held liable for medical malpractice if they fail to meet the standard of care. This includes not informing patients about significant findings.
